ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The Alberta Society of Artists is pleased to present the solo exhibition “Overlooked” featuring the work of Alberta artist Doris Charest.
“Overlooked invites viewers to rediscover the hidden details of nature. Through this series, I highlight the delicate, often-invisible aspects of the environment, encouraging a deeper appreciation for these fleeting wonders. Inspired by Kintsugi—the Japanese art of mending broken objects with gold—I combine natural materials with human-made elements in my sculptures to reflect our relationship with the environment and the beauty found in imperfection.”

About the Land
The Alberta Society of Artists (ASA) acknowledges that what we call Alberta, where our organization has found its’ home, is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) Confederacy (Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika), the Nehiyawak (Cree), Dene Tha’ (Slavey), Dane-zaa (Beaver), Denesuliné (Chipewyan), Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Iyarhe Nakoda (Stoney) (Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley), and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland.
