If you visit Gateway of India today, it’s not just the arched monument that you’ll marvel at. You will also come face-to-face with a giant replica of the moon, complete with craters, suspended mid-air in front of the landmark. “I took six months to create the moon,” says Jerram, a multidisciplinary artist who lives in Bristol.
