Cropped Punch-Needle Snapshots by Adrienna Matzeg Stitch Memories of Portugal

Toronto-based artist Adrienna Matzeg stitches a tangible record of a trip to Portugal in Bebidas e Lanches, or Drinks and Snacks. Rendering photographic snapshots and souvenir tableaux in textured punch needle, Matzeg depicts the sights of a hot afternoon spent around a table with friends. Framed by negative space, the compositions often appear cropped like reference photos to show a particular perspective and capture the sensory memories of travel, which the artist bolsters with titles like “Jet Lag in Lisbon” and “Sprained Ankle in Albufeira.”
