‘Destinations’, a project by Adrienna Matzeg, is series of 6 punch needle compositions created from photographs. Each piece is 8” x 8”.

“I started working on this series in the spring of 2020 when Toronto was experiencing stay-at-home orders as an affect of COVID-19. I ordered the supplies, embroidery thread and fabric online, and learned the punch needle technique on my own. I spent time looking through my photos from destinations I had travelled to and was feeling nostalgic, wondering when I would be able to travel and explore again. I created the compositions of these pieces from photos that were taken in both Italy and Portugal. This project is an opportunity for reflection on our relationship with travel, and what the future of travel will mean to each of us.”
