I have a new love… frozen water…


Oh my goodness… I have fallen in love with frozen water. It first started when I travelled to the US in 2009 and it snowed… and I was just soooo excited. Then a few years later I was captivated by the ice formations and expanses of white in Antarctica… The Shape of Cold opened up a way of experiencing landscape I had never felt before. Then to Greenland… and I developed a deeper sense of wonder for the icebergs which calved off glaciers… frozen time. Then to my second journey to Antarctica where the icebergs had a more significant emotional effect for me. … and now…. skiing in the snow…. and sitting on the edge of a forest in the silent snowstorm was just so magical… and the phenomenon of it snowing in a space void of all sound was just captivating and breathtaking. I love frozen water…. and I have only realised just today that the subject matter for my first photographic exhibitions were water….. and now they too are of water but in a frozen form… and both have provided such mystery and magic for not only my photographs but personally as well.

 

I hope to continue to experience this incredible world of frozen water… in ice… and snow… and cold!!!

About the Author:
I am a Journeywoman. I live my life as an explorer. An adventurer. An Observer. An Artist. There is no differentiation between how I live my life and the art that is an expression of it. It is through my experience adventuring the unknown, that I learn more about myself. My aim through this connection is to live where my expression is fully in alignment with the essence of who I am. “In the field of Fine-Art Photography, Julie stands apart from others with the way she sees the world and expresses her connection within it. Julie Stephenson’s photographs are sublime. Her work is an expression of her deep connection; and a gift to the world.”

  • 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.

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’.

  • 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.
