3. PRESTON SINGLETARY (Colleen)
Colleen recommends the "Echoes, Fire, and Shadows" exhibit of Preston
Singletary's work at the Museum of Glass. (http://www.museumofglass.org/exhibitions/preston-singletary/) "The
Museum of Glass is proud to present "Preston Singletary: Echoes, Fire, and Shadows, the first mid-career
survey of this renowned artist. For nearly two decades, Singletary has straddled two
cultures -- melding his Tlingit ancestry with the dynamism of the Studio Glass
Movement -- and in the process creating an extraordinarily distinctive and
powerful body of work. Drawing from traditional Tlingit art, Singletary has
translated the visual vocabulary of patterns, narratives, and systems most
closely associated with Native woodcarving and painted art into glass, a
material historically associated with Native peoples through an extensive
network of trading routes." Through Sept. 19, 2010.
