Emily Hinderaker

This collection was inspired by literary nonsense, a genre of literature that balances elements that make sense with some that do not. It subverts convention and logical reasoning, producing an effect that is both whimsical and somewhat unsettling. My goal was to create a visual nonsensical novel, illustrating a story instead of writing it. Each print is like a chapter exploring this world and its cast of characters, who initially appear friendly but, on closer examination, may not be quite so amiable. Ultimately the wearer of the garments becomes part of the story, putting their own twist on the final chapter with every use.
