If sugar caused hallucinations, this is what they’d look like. Pip and Pop started as a collaboration between two Australian artists, Tanya Schultz & Nicole Andrijevic. A few years ago, Andrijevic moved on to work on other things, but Schultz kept both Pip and Pop’s name and the aesthetic.
Sugar, glitter, colored sand, candies, pipe cleaners, tiny plastic figurines: her list of materials reads like the shopping list for a 3-year-old’s birthday party, but her results are much more child-like than childish. Her level of precision and attention to detail is off the charts, and her creations really are lovely in a Katy Perry/bubblegum kind of way. I’m also really impressed by the sheer sweeping scale of her installations. Most of them fill a room, or, in the case of her collaboration with fashion label Romance Was Born, an entire stage.

They need to send this to a Katy Perry rep! Pretty neat to see all the bright colors.

This is what my 7-year-old daughter’s imagination would look like if it was to spill out into reality.

I’d love to see what dogs would do to it. That would be a fun deconstruction video.

I’m glad I visited your blog, and thank you for the like on my post. I really enjoyed reading this article. Soooo pretty 😛 … Sweet in many ways, at first I thought, why is this beautiful art created in a dark and dingy warehouse, but it makes more sense to contrast the beauty and colour of the art with the dark and dirty reality of our world 🙂
Hope to see you around my blog more 🙂
Take care x
