I think they can be seen as illusory places where we project our dreams and desires.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schultz draws inspiration from mythological utopias of luxury and plenty, like the medieval\u00a0Pays de Cockaigne, also known as Luilekkerland or Schlaraffenland. In a place characterized by idleness and comfort, \u201cthe streets are paved with pastries, houses are built from cakes, mountains made of pudding, and cheese rains from the sky,\u201d the artist says. She continues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Throughout history, tales of food utopias became popular in times of food deprivation, especially during medieval times. People created stories, songs, and maps of these places as a way to escape reality and imagine a better future, where there would be abundant food. At other times, these lands of plenty were seen not as escapist fantasies but rather cautionary tales of gluttony.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, Pip &amp; Pop\u2019s installations have grown in size and complexity. Schultz and her studio team incorporate sugar in various forms, \u201cfrom soft, fragile piles to hard, candy-like substances,\u201d the artist tells Colossal. \u201cBut it all starts with hand-dyeing sugar in hundreds of shades of pastel and neon colours.\u201d The large-scale, psychedelic installations also employ modeling clay, rhinestones, beads, papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9, rainbow string, pompoms, and tiny polymer cakes and fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in Santa Fe, Pip &amp; Pop has a permanent work on view at\u00a0Meow Wolf. You can also find more on the studio\u2019s\u00a0website, and keep an eye on updates on\u00a0Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"610\" src=\"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pip-pop-when-flowers-dream-960x610-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-266\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI\u2019m fascinated by fictional geographies and paradise mythologies, places where we can escape our earthly realities,\u201d says artist Tanya Schultz, also known as\u00a0Pip &amp; Pop, whose large-scale candied cacophonies explode with sugary pastels and delicious textures (previously). \u201cThese places may&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":264,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":267,"href":"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263\/revisions\/267"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
