HIP HIP DECAY — SCULPTURES

Due to the fragile, one-of-a-kind nature of Hip Hip Decay’s sculptures, each work is available for in-store purchase only and cannot be shipped. Manteau Noir has proudly stocked Hip Hip Decay since 2016.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Created by Victorian artist Suzanne McRae, Hip Hip Decay brings together sculpture, ceramics, textiles and a love of antiquity. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Ceramics from the University of Ballarat in 1996, Suzanne worked across costume and fashion design before returning to sculpture.

Her whimsical, evocative figures are defined by their distinct character, hand-worked surfaces and quiet sense of history.
