I have subverted the original text of Emily Post's On Entertaining using a variety of techniques including collage, erasure, needlepoint, and blackout. The additional images and text are from vintage copies of Life Magazine and The Wordsworth Dictionary of Sexual Terms. I hope my work sparks reflection on the trappings of nostalgia that many Americans feel about social practices of the past.
