PIP & POP
BOAA ART 2018
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 all sorts of objects she finds on
her travels.
Her practice embodies both independent
and collaborative processes across varying
disciplines including installation, painting,
wall-works and sculpture.
Often ephemeral, her meticulously
constructed and highly detailed works
embrace notions of abundance, utopian
dreams and fleeting pleasure. She is
fascinated with ideas of paradise and wishfulfillment
described in folk, mythologies and
cinema.
Schultz has exhibited her work in Australia,
Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong,
Germany, Netherlands, Mexico, the UAE and
the UK.
She is included in the Queensland Art
Gallery/ Gallery of Modern Art and Edith
Cowan University collections.

JASON SIMS
BOAA ART 2018
Jason Sims is a visual artist working in the
realm of perceptual art. Primarily using
mirror, reflective glass and lighting, he
produces single and multiple piece wall
works, freestanding sculptures and largescale
installations that create the illusion of
space and form.
Sims is interested in creating work that
facilitates a visceral experience for the
viewer, a kind of tug of war between instinct
and intellect whereby (hopefully) intellect
surrenders, at least for a moment. His work
serves as a vehicle to reimagine the space
encountered, to deconstruct perceived
physical limitations and facilitate a kind of
meditative response allowing viewers to
interpret the illusion of space created as
reality.
‘Though we are largely shaped by individual
experience through feedback received from
our senses, exercising our imagination
can change the way we perceive the world
around us and how we question assumed
truths. I am particularly inspired to create
work that challenges perceptual systems
through compelling the use of one’s
imagination, as it is this quality that allows us
to see the world in new ways.’ – Jason Sims
Jason Sims is represented by MARS Gallery.
