Details

Preston Singletary’s work fuses time-honored glassblowing traditions with Pacific Northwest Indigenous art to honor his ancestral Tlingit heritage, a tribe in southern Alaska. Preston Singletary: Raven and the Box of Daylight tells the Tlingit origin story of Raven and his transformation of the world—bringing light to people via the stars, moon, and sun. Raven leads visitors on a fantastical journey through the transformation of darkness into light. Singletary’s art creates a theatrical atmosphere in which his striking glass pieces enhance the unfolding storyline.
