\"Adrienna<\/p>\n

Order up! The only two words you want to hear when you\u2019re ravenous and seated at the laminate counter of a roadside diner.<\/p>\n

Artist Adrienna Matzeg<\/a> takes this highly anticipated call as the basis for a new trio of punch-needle works. Through nostalgic embroidered tableaux, she whips up melty grilled cheese, waffles with a pat of butter, and a banana split with puffs of cream and not just one, but three cherries nested on top. <\/p>\n

Like much of her earlier work<\/a>, Order Up<\/em> captures Matzeg\u2019s keen interest in nostalgia and the welcome discoveries of a long car ride. \u201cInspired by North American roadside diners and late-night stops, each piece captures the essence of a greasy spoon,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Whether a cheap paper napkin or bottomless cup of coffee, the objects all appear to pop up from the delicately mottled backdrops, the painstakingly stitched shadows hugging their forms. <\/p>\n
