In 2013, Piñeres’ solo exhibition of Playland was shown in New York, NY by DCKT Contemporary. Piñeres’ needlepoint artwork depicted nude figures with a combination of attention-grabbing graphics of pinball machine playfields. Piñeres’ needlepoint artwork created a sexual and playful atmosphere by combining both the nude figures and pinball machines in the nonoperational Playland (New York). As Dean Dempsey argued, that this is where Piñeres’ makes her connection – the idea that both pursuits are those fundamentally concerned with luck and chance. Piñeres exploits the kitsch status of needlepoint to make a vague statement on contemporary society.
