A hand started to take shape as a soothing guitar melody bounced around in the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre.

Ramses Calderon watched carefully as Jennifer McRorie extracted the lighter colours on her eraser drawing of her newborn baby’s hand. In response, he improvised a melody on his guitar as she worked.

After a 10-minute break, the process was reversed and McRorie painted in response to Calderon’s song that he wrote for his newborn daughter. It was a live presentation of two different types of art at Artists Duet: In Light of Presence.
