For nearly two decades, Preston Singletary has straddled two unique
cultures, melding his Tlingit ancestry with the dynamism of the
Studio Glass Movement. In the process, he has created an
extraordinarily distinctive and powerful body of work that depicts
cultural and historical images in richly detailed, beautifully hued
glass. Singletary has translated the visual vocabulary of patterns,
narratives, and systems of Native woodcarving and painted art into
glass, a material historically associated with Native peoples
through an extensive network of trading routes. Singletary entered
the world of glassblowing as an assistant, mastering the techniques
of the European tradition as he worked alongside Seattle-area
artists such as Benjamin Moore and Dante Marioni. He also had
opportunities to learn the secrets of the Venetian glass masters
while working with Italian legends Lino Tagliapietra and Pino
Signoretto. The Northwest Native icons, supernatural beings,
transformative themes, animal spirits, shamanism, and basketry
design of Singletary's Tlingit heritage are manifested in his work,
creating a unique whole that resonates on many levels and reveals a
new artistic direction. This mid-career retrospective of his work
includes contributions by Melissa G. Post, Steven Clay Brown, and
Walter Porter, as well as a DVD of Singletary working in his
studio. Preston Singletary's works are in museum collections around
the world, including the National Museum of the American Indian;
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Seattle Art Museum; Corning Museum of
Glass; Mint Museum of Art; the Heard Museum; and the Handelsbanken
(Stockholm, Sweden).
