Sentimentality*Memory*History

The sentimentality and haunting nature of memory is the world I am drawn to. Beautiful things now decrepit, once cherished objects now paused in a parallel place, still existing but really inhabiting a long gone life. My characters are the often anthropomorphic bridge between human and creature, the past and present, and truth or dream. A melancholic yet enticing longing for ornaments our past generations loved, but which seem strange and awkward now, and have miraculously outlived their owners. The stained and moth eaten fabrics, cracks and threads, shining eyes, all conglomerate to remind me of great grandparents time capsule dining rooms and Victorian grace now disintegrated.

Latest news in strange times...

I am still in the studio, still making, still taking commissions. 

Stockists may be closed for now, but direct purchases and postage is going strong!

I am practicing home isolation, and all sculptures and packaging will be sprayed with disinfectant before being boxed. 

THANKYOU with all my heart to those who have continued to order and enquire.... 

AND.....

AfterPay (four fortnightly payments) is now available for all available pieces, so owning a Hip Hip Decay sculpture is a little bit easier.

See the CATALOG page in the main menu above for available pieces.

Commissions Welcome...

I am always thrilled to work with customers on specific ideas or certain creatures they may have in mind. From cherished pets, favourite animals to gifts for friends and family, the possibilities are endless. To discuss your thoughts email suzanne@hiphipdecay.com or use the CONTACT form 

Clay, fabric, wood

With hundreds of sculptures made over recent years, each individual piece incorporates shreds of antique textiles, old buttons and hand modelled clay. Reclaimed wooden bases and rare finds, wire, vintage fur and velvet become one.
