Elizabeth Day experienced a moment of inspiration while capturing a photo of a renovated house with blue sheets and orange tape. This imagery reminded her of art's golden ratio and geometric art styles. She later submitted the photo to the Royal Academy of Arts' Summer Exhibition, where it was accepted. Day believes that art is for everyone and hopes her image encourages reflection and conversation among viewers about transient beauty.
I was struck by the grammar of it, the angular nature. The tape reminded me of art's golden ratio, the geometry like a Mondrian crossed with a Rothko.
I love the fact that anyone can enter, Day says. It proves that anyone can be an artist, and that art is for everyone.
The transient nature makes it more special, I think. I just hope people will have a conversation with the image.
