threaded compositions by Adrienna Matzeg depict summer scenes
The Scenic Route presents six new punch-needle embroidery works by Toronto-based textile artist Adrienna Matzeg. Inspired by summer road trips along the East Coast, the collection explores visual and sensory elements associated with travel. The works depict moments such as roadside stops, shifting horizons at dusk, and the glow of neon signs in compositions using vividly colored threads. Matzeg integrates photography and textile techniques to develop her punch-needle embroidery compositions.

Vivid colors and shapes compose Scenic Route embroidery series
Textile artist Adrienna Matzeg’s series examines the relationship between place and memory, reducing subjects to abstracted colors and shapes that evoke recollections of past travel experiences. The strong fiber art traditions of Eastern Canada’s Maritimes region also inform the connection between material and narrative in the works. Matzeg’s artistic practice spans analog and digital processes, including weaving, screen printing, and photographic techniques. The Scenic Route collection expands the artist’s exploration of textiles as a medium for storytelling.
