Its own room

The Perfect Day

Jay Kelly · Mixed Media - Collage with Acrylic and Newspaper

Nothing here has been enhanced. Everything you see is derived from the object — the record below says exactly how each view was made.

Set your screen once. Hold a bank card against the screen and slide until the orange outline matches its width.

The surface under moving light

This view is built only from real photographs of the work, each lit from a different angle, so you can move the light yourself and watch the real surface answer. It is being captured in the studio and will appear here. Until then we show nothing rather than an imitation.

“In the late '90s, I started experimenting with figurative collage. As a self taught artist, I picked up second hand books to learn about art history.”— Jay Kelly

Newspaper and acrylic join torn paper in collage assembly. Typography and printed image become raw material; layering establishes spatial depth while maintaining the work's inherent flatness as wall-bound object.
