Adrienna Matzeg's Punch Needle Embroideries Conjure Nostalgic Summer Road Trips
Briefly

Adrienna Matzeg's new series, The Scenic Route, celebrates unique aspects of summer road trips through punch needle embroidery. Blending photography, textiles, and design, she creates vibrant works that simplify colors and shapes to explore the nostalgia of travel memories and souvenirs. Each piece, like 'Catch of the Day' and 'Lighthouse Route', embodies the simple joys and fleeting moments experienced during summer, evoking lasting memories that linger after the season ends. The collection is available through Tacit Collective, reflecting Matzeg's creative journey and artistic vision.
Through reducing the subject matter in her work to simplified colours, shapes, and fragments, she explores how we recall memories, with a specific interest in travel destinations and souvenirs.
Pieces in The Scenic Route hint at simple joys, brief pauses, and the fading light of day, evoking 'in-between' experiences that may seem ordinary enough at the moment but linger in the memory long after summer ends.
