The film studies the works of Newfoundland’s [[David Blackwood]] (1941-2022), one of Canada’s greatest [[intaglio (printmaking)|intaglio printmakers]]. Blackwood guides viewers through the process of [[etching]], with step-by-step explanations. We see historical images of his home town of [[Wesleyville, Newfoundland and Labrador|Wesleyville]], and hear the tales of a seasoned [[sailor|seaman]].<br />
<br />
Much of Blackwood’s work depicted [[Newfoundland outport]] life and industry, and we see some of his images of shipwrecks, [[seal hunting]] and iceberg encounters. Newfoundland native [[Gordon Pinsent]] is the narrator, and the cinematography has fine threads weaving, mingling, separating and disappearing, evoking a sense of history and a way of life long gone.<br />
