We Miss you Magic Land


Artists Pip & Pop created a sugar coated magic fairy-land for children and adults alike, with their artwork ‘we miss you magic land!’, making their own version of an enchanted forest filled with flowers, vines, mushrooms, animals, volcanoes and magic clouds.

Part of their exhibition included a hallway with a multicoloured bridge and miniature worlds, viewed through peepholes in the wall. I collaborated with the artist to produce wallpaper that complimented these worlds. The artists supplied many separate images of their work that I combined to create a fantasy world in the clouds, an extension of their artworks displayed within the wall. The challenge in this fun project, lay in emulating the artists’ style and the intricacies of the complicated install.
