You shopped at SuperValu a hundred times, but how often did you stop to admire the artistic form of this now-demolished architectural icon? Bright colours from the translucent façade played upon you in the check-out line, and the beams arching overhead followed you and your cart to the parking lot where they swept downward and gently met the earth.

This mid-Century modern classic that stood on Martin St. from 1964 until 2006 is gone, but it can still be admired in SuperValu Redux - a photographic evocation of the edifice - by Drew Makepeace, at Gallery Vertigo in Vernon from Sept 9 to Oct 8.
