"As an explorer in the space of raw isolation and extremes, I saw and felt the shape of cold. The 'Shape of Cold' exposes itself in an environment where no indigenous peoples could say it was their home - Antarctica. These shapes began to reveal to me the nature not only of this profoundly exquisite and powerful place; but of the nature of myself. In our times where climate change is controversial yet evident in the polar caps where ice sheets are retreating and glaciers are calving and moving at unprecedented rates; most people are far removed from the effects of how we live. My journeys to the polar regions of both Antarctica and Greenland have enabled me to experience and witness the changes of our planet and through my connection and photographs I offer others an opportunity to have greater awareness and connection to our incredibly beautiful planet and our place as a part of it." Julie Stephenson (Interview 2017)I am excited to have been invited to the Awards ceremony of the Lucie Awards at Carnegie Hall in New York in late October.

The lines hold meaning.
Privileged to be able to weave alongside the lines drawn in Abbie Loy’s Body Painting 2012, and @sallyblakeartist Sacred Thought.
@qingfibre Lemon is the most wonderful yellow, forming the story lines in my warp.

Slow weaving. Simple stitches.
Heirloom handwoven blanket from a meaningful memory. Have you been to a beach with these gorgeous coloured changing rooms? Where?
My blankets are soulful gifts which say to someone that you care about them.

Roadtrippin’ vintage car style. Our journeys aren’t your usual road trip, but tbh is the BEST way to experience the world. It’s tough. It’s exhausting. It’s incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.
We would not have had the incredibly rich experiences with others throughout the world, had we been in a ‘normal’ vehicle or tour group.
I would not have held the hands of women and hugged with acknowledgement of each other had we not been in our 100 year old ‘Penny’.
Love to know the ways you’ve travelled where you’ve connected spontaneously with local people.

Every journey becomes part of who I am. Remote travel is my passion!
I love the snow and have learned so much from my experiences in those cold environments.
I spent some time lying in the snow beside the forest waiting to be found when I injured and tore all my ligaments in my knee.
In the silence between the snowflakes I learned how to breathe with the pain.
I miss the snow and cold of the Arctic. I miss the icebergs and frozen seas.
I can still however weave my stories, and this one is from my memories of skiing and what I learned in the snow amongst the pines.

Ulan Batar, Mongolia. How did we manage this?
Well… it starts in our shed! This is where the magic starts. Well… actually, the magic usually starts in a cafe in Maleny, where Max and i hatch up plans for our next adventures!
At the moment, feeling very privileged and grateful to have travelled so much of the world, especially together with Max in our 1923 Vauxhall, Penny.
These journeys have shaped who I am, and have taught me to be bold and resilient!
Shortly I’ll be shifting my focus of our journeys as the inspiration for my artisan blankets more to my new account @juliesstudiojourneys; so love for you to pop there and follow me; and spread the love by sharing my account.
