Preston Singletary: Raven and the Box of Daylight, organized by Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, and Preston Singletary, will be presented by The Chickasaw Nation and on view at OKCMOA!

The multi-sensory experience combines glass, video, and audio to tell the story of Raven, a creator figure in Northwest Coast Native American culture, who was the giver of the stars, moon, and sun. Raven takes visitors on a transformative journey through darkness into light. In addition to Singletary’s striking glass pieces, the exhibition features storytelling paired with original music, coastal Pacific Northwest soundscapes, and video. 
 
Singletary’s work fuses time-honored glassblowing traditions with Pacific Northwest Indigenous art to honor his ancestral Tlingit heritage, a tribe in southern Alaska. Tlingit (KLING-kit) culture and oral tradition have a rich history of pairing objects with foundational stories and histories of tribal families. By drawing upon this method of visual storytelling, Singletary’s art creates a theatrical atmosphere in which each object follows and enhances the narrative. 
 
OKCMOA is collaborating with First Americans Museum for opening week events! Stay tuned for programming details.
 
 
ABOUT PRESTON SINGLETARY
Raised in Seattle, Washington, Singletary began to experiment with glass making when he took a job as a night watchman at the Glass Eye, a glassblowing studio. He worked as a gaffer for Dale Chihuly, attended Pilchuck Glass School (founded by Dale Chihuly), and eventually became a teacher and, more recently, a member of Pilchuck’s Board of Trustees.
