An exploration of our connection with, and divorce from, nature.
PORTLAND, Ore. - eMusicWire -- The Imperfecta Gallery is excited to present Logo Stuff. On view June 4-28 2026, this solo show features a new body of work by artist Quire (aka Leah Hugon).
Scientists have found that, even in the most desolate of urban settings, when left to their own devices extinct native plants will return home. In this new series of work, Quire continues to explore themes around our connection with, and divorce from, nature. These works feature paintings of contemporary commercial properties, some vacant and some occupied, bordered by the plants that would have thrived in these specific locations. The plants not only grow in these places but they also provide functions similar to those of the buildings that have displaced them. A closed pharmacy is paired with Mullein, a plant with several medicinal uses, native to the region and just waiting for its gifts to be received.
Growing up religious, Quire still has bible stories in her head, and while working on these paintings one story in particular came to mind. When the Israelites were led out of Egypt to be set free from slavery and the rule of pharaoh, they eventually chose a king to lead them again, even though their God had provided a leader in Moses. What are we choosing today and what do we overlook and lose for those choices? Have we as a society made choices that benefit us or ones that just feel familiar or convenient?

Quire invites the viewer to learn about the plants in her work, to discover their gifts, resilience and wisdom, while pondering our choices as a society and where they have led us.
The show debuts on June 4, with an Opening Reception from 5 to 8pm.
Gallery Opening Hours: Wednesday to Saturday, 11am to 5pm – EXCEPT first Wednesdays (closed) and first Thursdays (open 5-8pm only).
The gallery is located at 809 NW Flanders st, Portland OR.
