Ever wonder how those wonderful minty striped Christmas treats were made?

First they mix sugar, water, and corn syrup together and heat it until it’s a beatiful mush.

Then they add some crushed peppermint into the mix and fold.

They put it into a pneumatic folder to increase the spread.

The move the dough into a mixer.

And that stretches it out until the dough is thin and malleable.

They heat it again in a roller.

They move the combined dough and candy to a roller that slowly slims the roll down.

It’s meters long but by the end it will come out thiner.

And thinner. It also twists it.

Until finally it is the desired size, and is bent to add the hook and wrapped.

Schultz’s work calls to mind the imaginary landscapes of childhood and its fascination with all things sugar. It also recalls Lisa Frank’s neon designs, as well as a sort of shameless girlishness manifested in an explosion of pure color. At the same time, the meticulous detail and fractal-like patterns make them technically impressive, almost referencing science fiction movie sets and alien worlds.

I Saw A Dream Like This, 2013

Through a Hole in the Mountain, 2014

Schultz started Pip & Pop with artist friend Nicole Andrijevic. Andrijevic left the duo in 2011, but Schultz continues to create installations under the name, sometimes alone, and sometimes in collaboration with other artists and friends. Her dreamy, miniature landscapes have been featured in various countries, and you can see more of her work on her website, as well as on Facebook.
