Totem Vase

Blending historical European glass-blowing traditions and Tlinglit design, Preston Singletary offers nuanced, sensitive, and compelling blown-glass forms, as well as large-scale commissions and more expansive projects. Exploring themes of transformation, the natural world, and personal and cultural beliefs, Singletary expands the possibilities of glass as a sculptural and narrative material. In Totem Vase, he draws on nature to represent a bear in the top half of the vessel.
