Description
Book SynopsisPreston Singletary has straddled two unique cultures, melding his Tlingit ancestry with the dynamism of the Studio Glass Movement. In the process, he has created a distinctive and powerful body of work that depicts cultural and historical images in richly detailed, beautifully hued glass. This book takes a retrospective of his work.
Trade Review"Singletary's remarkable work combines his Native American background with contemporary influences, producing truly unique pieces of art. The second section is a beautiful exhibition of Singletary's work, with 90 pages full of stunning glass. This volume serves as the artist's first mid-career survey; we can expect much more from Singletary in the years to come."

"[This] is a full dress, full color art book that accompanies Singletary's mid-career retrospective at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma. In three essays . . . Singletary's life and work are put into perspective. The catalog pages themselves, with one art object to a page, are the next best thing to making the trek to the Museum of Glass."

"With the show at the Museum of Glass and a beautiful career retrospective coffee-table-book catalog to go with it, Singletary is clearly hitting a career peak."
