Fran Baskerville’s art work, “In the Moment”, is a glimpse of Gordon Head. It’s a community of people that share a landscape and home that values and supports distinct ethnic backgrounds, ages, abilities and activity choices.
Baskerville digitally scanned the artwork to print it on to a fabric window cover. This provides a colourful sunshade. The shade material allows some light to get through. This further brightens the artwork.
