The story Raven and the Box of Daylight, which tells how Raven
transformed the world and brought light to the people by releasing
the stars, moon, and sun, holds great significance to the Tlingit
people of the Pacific Northwest Coast. A new body of work by artist
Preston Singletary (American, born 1963) will immerse readers in
Tlingit traditions by telling this story through his monumental
glass works and installations. Primarily known for his celebration
of Tlingit art and design, Singletary will explore new ways of
working with glass inspired by Tlingit design principles. Tlingit
objects were traditionally used to show wealth and tell stories by
representing elements of the natural world, as well as the
histories of individual families. By drawing upon this tradition,
Singletary's art creates a unique theatrical atmosphere, in which
the pieces follow and enhance a narrative. This book includes texts
that place Singletary's work within the wider histories of both
glass art and native arts traditions-especially the art of
spoken-word storytelling. Also included are a biography and an
interview with the artist.
