‘The Shape of Cold’ Antarctica published and available online now!

I am excited to have published 'The Shape of Cold' a beautiful artwork of the collection of my black and white photographs from my first journey to Antarctica in 2014. This book is an expression of my connection with Antarctica; of the way the hand of Nature sculpts 'the shape of cold'. There is a very special relationship revealed with the pairing of images on adjoining pages; which gives this book a quality which is beyond just a collection of exquisite photographs. This book is available to be purchase now on my online store

She Glides…

With delicate grace
exposing in rawness her strength and beauty
exquisite beneath,
she glides in the stillness
yet she was not truly seen.

Those moments of glimpses are now passed
into memories
and melt
into time.

Getting to Antarctica – by plane then ship…. Not at all easy… and Nature calls the game!

I'm back to Australia now after an incredible journey to South America to climb Volcan Osorno and travel once again to Antarctica. These have been incredibly privileged experiences..and ones which have enriched my life; and I feel I have returned in some ways quite changed. Nature called the game for us this time and due to fog and lack of visibility on the runway at Frei Station, our planned departure was delayed for two days because we couldn't land. Every few hours we all gathered in the function room to be advised of the current weather conditions and the pilots decision whether we had a window to land ..... or not...

“The Shape of Cold” – Antarctica Book

I have had this project on the back burners for 2 years… and recently I made a commitment to see if I could actually achieve any goals that I had set myself; and endeavoured to complete a book of my experiences in Antarctica in 2014 – before my next trip to Antarctica…which is today !!!! and I have self published my book “The Shape of Cold”. I am really excited about this collection of images and how my experience has translated into this beautiful compilation and artwork in the form of a book. I am feeling quite excited for when I return in a month – to be able to hold my first sample copies in my gentle hands. I will post some images of the books after they arrive.

Antarctica New Perspectives : Even in the Darkness

Even in the darkness and the varying shades of the grey of uncertainty elements can emanate light and have an inner glow which is eternal with the strength of presence and resilience. Antarctica has provided me with the palette of my own experience to listen to the wisdom which emanates from something which is beyond me. Revisiting these images has enabled me to recall some of those insights again for myself.   There is a beautiful private gallery just for subscribers….so if you would like to see more images in this series… you can subscribe easily here 🙂

Antarctica New Perspectives – …..Relationship

Quietly..... over time.... silent change....
Looking at the relationships between elements can for me bring dynamism to a medium which is in literally 2 dimensions.
In your own photography, why not have a play with placing images together and see what narrative/emotion/movement/feeling develops within you, as a whole new perspective is created as a result of juxtaposing two or more ways of seeing.
I have found that

Antarctica new perspectives – on Landscape.

Antarctica Landscape??? …or not??? Have you ever questioned what you have seen??? Have you ever seen something and then upon further inquiry be led to further inquiry….which has led you to question your perception of reality even more??? This particular image invites me to inquire … explore… challenge my perception of what I originally saw. I invite you to to do the same.

Antarctica…. new perspectives

Have you ever had something revealed to you and it challenge your perception of the way you think it is?? I have been re-visiting my archives; and in my Antarctica photos there are images which challenge my memory of what I think Antartica is like… or “should” be like. When one thinks of Antarctica – ice; cold; blue; white; penguins; isolation; space; are just some of the words which may come to mind. As I have been browsing through my images I am seeing differently than how I have seen before. Perhaps ‘time’ is taking a role in this – as it has been 14 months since experiencing myself in Antarctica. Perhaps time has given me the space to see things differently…and present a new reality which I had not envisaged before. My perception is being challenged by a new way of seeing…. and what I am seeing in front of me is different that what I thought….remembered …and even imagined. Over the coming weeks… (perhaps even intermittently over the coming months 🙂 )… I would like to share with you some images which offer a new perspective of Antarctica.

Explorers…Antarctica…. Setting the scene; planes, boats, ice and VERY cold water!!!!!

We were explorers...adventurers in a place where Nature runs the show. In Antarctica plans are temporary. Fluid. Changeable. At best, plans in Antarctica are the sketch of a 'wish list'...pencilled in itineraries and schedules and deadlines; all overlaid with ice and wind and snow....and fog. Max and I had chosen a trip

In my weaving, colour is my travel journal.

It’s available by popping to my profile link.

  • I’m a weaver. What are these for? 

Discovering these in my cupboard and using them for this was a game changer for my warping! They make it so easy so I don’t have to fuss with tying knots. I just slip them on! 

Here I use something similar to the item I used ice-climbing a volcano in Chile: but not as heavy duty! 

Often in my weaving I use items which suit just perfectly the purpose I need them for; but weren’t originally intended for that specific use. 

Love it when I do that! 

Hope this pro-tip helps all you innovative weavers! Know a weaver who struggles warping on their own? They may hug you for this one! Send it their way.

  • Do what you love…

12 seconds here of focus and rhythm, where you can just watch and breathe; watch me doing what I love. 

Focus and rhythm. Repetition and movement. Calming the chaos. 

I’m craving quiet and connection. The ritual of weaving in my studio is healing for me. It is necessary. I love weaving. 

The bonus of my choice to find expression and connection and to share my stories through my hands is that wonderful blankets are woven. They are not the original goal. 

What are the rituals that you love that you choose to do? DM if you choose not to share publicly and I will reply personally. (no bots!) 

Love you to share with a friend if you think they may love my account that values authentic soulful creativity and may encourage them to be creative and do what they love as well!

I always let colour lead! I weave my stories into my handwoven blankets, letting my memory of colour lead the way! Not knowing where to start with your next creative piece? This may be your answer! Have a bestie who is a creative as well? They may also love to see how colour takes the lead— send it their way! #Weaving #artisanmade #weaver #protip

The colours of where?  In my weaving, colour is my travel journal.  My on-the-road written journal from our travels driving our vintage car Penny, through India, Bhutan and Myanmar; with my Studio Journal ONE from this series; focussing on my journal for my current series of blankets - available now. It’s available by popping to my profile link. Know a creative colour-lover? They may love to see how colour tells a story! —send it their way. :)” #roadtripping #weaving #artisanmade #traveljournaling #weaver

I’m a weaver. What are these for?  Discovering these in my cupboard and using them for this was a game changer for my warping! They make it so easy so I don’t have to fuss with tying knots. I just slip them on! Here I use something similar to the item I used ice-climbing a volcano in Chile: but not as heavy duty!  Often in my weaving I use items which suit just perfectly the purpose I need them for; but weren’t originally intended for that specific use.  Love it when I do that! Hope this pro-tip helps all you innovative weavers! Know a weaver who struggles warping on their own? They may hug you for this one! Send it their way. #handweaving #fibreartist #madebyhand #warping #inmystudio

Do what you love…

12 seconds here of focus and rhythm, where you can just watch and breathe; watch me doing what I love. 

Focus and rhythm. Repetition and movement. Calming the chaos. 

I’m craving quiet and connection. The ritual of weaving in my studio is healing for me. It is necessary. I love weaving. 

The bonus of my choice to find expression and connection and to share my stories through my hands is that wonderful blankets are woven. They are not the original goal. 

What are the rituals that you love that you choose to do? DM if you choose not to share publicly and I will reply personally. (no bots!) 

Love you to share with a friend if you think they may love my account that values authentic soulful creativity and may encourage them to be creative and do what they love as well!

Here I’m offering 10 seconds of calm.

It seems like everything’s going crazy right now. Anxiety. Illness. Grief. Uncertainty.  

I’m craving quiet and connection. I can’t do things quickly any more. I choose to spend hours in my studio. The ritual of weaving and spinning. This helps me.  

It is not just about the finished pieces. It’s about connection and expression. 

I’m developing a deeper sense of gratitude using my experiences as a foundation for my handwoven blankets.  It’s healing.

If your feed has been feeling too loud and chaotic today, I hope this brings you a few moments of calm.

Do you seek out slow rituals in your daily life? Love for you to share. Comment to share with others or DM and I will reply to you personally. No automated bots!

There’s more calm and connection on my grid too!

This is the plan Stan!  Pro-tip… remember you don’t have to have a plan! I’m a weaver without a plan; only journeys and stories that I weave into stunning blankets.  Follow my weaving journeys and see more on my grid.  #weaver #badasswomen #protip #madebyhand #weaving
