Preston Singletary | A Clockwork Raven

This exhibition continues the ongoing collaboration between celebrated artist Preston Singletary and international best-selling author Garth Stein. Together, they explore the evolution of Raven as a central figure in Tlingit storytelling, asking, "How does Raven deal with our current time?" The works in Clockwork Raven represent the most powerful and significant chapter in this evolving series, bringing new complexity and narrative depth to Singletary's sculptural glass. For collectors and the many people who have followed Singletary's work over the years, this new series marks an important moment and offers an opportunity to experience and acquire works from one of the most compelling series of works Singletary has ever created. About the new Raven Stories, Stein shares: "In our newest collaboration, Tlingit glass artist Preston Singletary and I once again unleash Raven upon the modern world, a place that has grown complicated, distracted, and perhaps a little too clever for its own good. It begins with a noble idea. Raven builds an elaborate machine to render the ancient healing oil known as 'liquid sunshine' from fermenting salmon heads, purely for the good of the People, of course. But a trickster with unlimited oil, unlimited appetite, and questionable judgment soon finds himself drifting into stranger territory... Along the way, Raven encounters feuding forest creatures, a cannibal giant who harvests humans through unread' Terms and Conditions,' and a city so busy scrolling that it barely notices the old trickster shouting truth into a microphone. Absurd? Certainly. But Raven has always believed that even a broken world—hungry, ridiculous, and dangerously inventive—is still worth saving." Available works from the exhibition will be shared in upcoming emails. Stay connected for early previews of select pieces, or email us at [email protected] for additional information.
