The Imperfecta Gallery is presenting "Logo Stuff," a new exhibition featuring a series of paintings by artist Quire (aka Leah Hugon). The works depict contemporary commercial properties—some vacant, some occupied—paired with native plants that would have thrived in those locations, such as a closed pharmacy paired with medicinal Mullein. Quire draws on her religious upbringing and biblical stories to explore themes of societal choice, connection with nature, and what is lost in modern convenience. The show runs from June 4 to June 27, with an opening reception on June 4.
The exhibition matters because it merges ecological awareness with social commentary, using visual art to prompt viewers to reconsider the relationship between urban development and the natural world. By pairing specific plants with commercial buildings, Quire highlights the resilience of native species and invites reflection on collective decision-making. This local gallery show exemplifies how contemporary artists are addressing environmental and spiritual themes in accessible, community-oriented settings.
