Glitter and sparkle and rainbows, oh my! Australian artist Tanya Schultz works as Pip & Pop to create immersive installations and artworks from an eclectic range of materials including sugar, glitter, candy, plastic flowers, everyday craft materials, and other knick-knacks she finds on her travels.
Her work includes installation, painting, and sculptures, creating a fantasy world of sugary goodiness. The end result? A tacky, shimmery universe that is every kid’s dream (and, secretly, every grownup’s too!)
Pip & Pop actually began as a collaboration with fellow artist Nicole Andrijevic in 2007. But after four years, Andrijevic left the partnership to pursue a different career. Schultz now works solo and with other friends and artists creating projects in many parts of the world.
She has exhibited her work in Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Germany, among other places. And we can, truly, understand the hype.
