Sugar and glitter aren’t the most popular materials for artists, but for Melbourne-based collective Pip & Pop – Tanya Schultz, Nicole Andrijevic and John Kassab – they are the foundations of their universe, or universes… of tiny psychedelic candy worlds. Mountainous sugar piles, cake decorations, origami, found objects and sound, create candy pop kingdoms in incredible detail – sweet (literally and figuratively), bright and happy. Their installations have been exhibited all over the world, including Germany, Japan and Australia.
