screen-printed, stitched vintage linen
12 x 12 x .875″
The series of Keeping Up Appearances tackles some of the thornier social issues of mid-20th century America, inspired by text from a 1954 book on etiquette. This text ensured cultural boundaries were not to be crossed. Incorporating vintage linens upon which dye has been painted and text screen-printed, this work is also hand-stitched and machine-stitched.
The text is copied from Amy Vanderbilt’s Complete Book of Etiquette and is used with permission by Lincoln G. Clark, trustee of the Amy Vanderbilt Kellar Literary Property Trust.
Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.
