""In her textile embroidery work, however, the energy of the city falls away. What remains are quiet scenes that left an imprint, tactile snapshots as a record of those summer nights.""
""After Hours represents an evolution of Matzeg's travel-related works, centered around embroidered vignettes of snacks and roadside attractions that have a snapshot-like, diaristic quality.""
""Brightly lit facades and bold displays seem to float on the surface of black linen, with the addition of a small plate of hanami dango drawing us close to the artist's experience.""
Adrienna Matzeg's upcoming exhibition, 'After Hours,' showcases her textile embroidery work inspired by her travels in Kyoto, Tokyo, and Seoul during the summer of 2025. The intense heat led her to explore the cities at night, capturing illuminated storefronts and signage. The exhibition features embroidered vignettes that reflect her experiences, focusing on quiet scenes and tactile snapshots. The artworks, set against black linen, highlight bright facades and include elements like hanami dango, representing her unique perspective of these urban environments.
