Preston Singletary Studio News

1st October 2019

"WEAVER'S WELCOME" AT THE BURKE MUSEUM

The Preston Singletary Studio is excited to announce the unveiling of a new sculpture titled “Weaver’s Welcome” at the new Burke Museum which opens on October 12th, 2019.

This piece was created by artists Brian Perry (Port Gamble S’Klallam), Anthony Jones (Port Gamble S'Klallam), Preston Singletary (Tlingit), and David Franklin. Created in glass and bronze, “Weavers Welcome” represents the Salish traditions of weaving and respect for the knowledge of past generations. The ten foot tall figure will combine Salish motifs with imagery found in historical objects in the Burke’s collection, including baskets and carved wooden objects.

Via the artists: “Our approach bridges the cultural diversity of the Northwest Coast. While our team is deeply versed in traditional knowledge and skills, each artist has applied these traditions to historic and contemporary mediums alike. Our team embraces a contemporary, architecturally integrated design approach rooted in a deep knowledge of traditional techniques”.

Be part of the dedication ceremony for the "Weaver's Welcome" on Monday October 14th at 11AM at the Burke Museum.

“VISIONS IN THE FIRE” DOCUMENTARY

Announcing "Visions in the Fire" an upcoming feature length documentary about Preston Singletary. To be released in 2020, "Visions in the Fire" explores the life and work of Tlingit glass artist Preston Singletary. The film follows Preston from his early search for identity through his ground breaking exhibition at the Museum of Glass while also focusing on the story arc of his return to his Native roots in Alaska. It highlights his inspiration and creative collaborations foregrounded against a history of the Tlingit people and the challenges they have faced including loss of culture, the tragic policies of colonialism and a lack of representation for Native Artists in the broader art world.

As Preston explains, “My work with glass transforms the notion that Native artists are only best when traditional materials are used. It has helped advocate on the behalf of all indigenous people — affirming that we are still here — that we are declaring who we are through our art in connection to our culture.” Join Preston Singletary and Heartstone Studios for a special fundraiser on October 20th, 2019 at the Preston Singletary Studio.


PRESTON SINGLETARY & RAVEN SKYRIVER EXHIBITION

Don't miss this new exhibition at the Stonington Gallery opening on Thursday Oct. 3rd. 2019 featuring works by Raven Skyriver and Preston Singletary. Via Stonington: "These two artists share a number of commonalities: they are both glass maestros with Tlingit heritage who are based in Washington. However, their artwork is excitingly different, as they explore the environment and culture of the Northwest Coast from varied angles".
