This exhibition celebrates the work and legacy of the late Heidi Oberheide, one of the co-founders of St. Michael’s Printshop, who passed away in October 2023 just shy of the shop’s 50th anniversary. The exhibition presents a selection of Heidi’s lithographic works created in the studio from 1974 to 1981, arranged into distinct themes she explored during her time here. The exhibition meditates not only on Heidi’s life and her lasting impact on printmaking in Newfoundland, but also this place, and how she saw herself reflected in it. From snapshots of the original printshop’s windows, to reflections in coastal tide pools, to contemplation on the plight of pothead whales, Heidi’s work reveals a deep connection to this coastal place, and the reciprocal marks she and outport Newfoundland made on one another.
