It wasn’t until I started incorporating Tlingit designs and stories—drawing from my lineage in the Eagle moiety, Kaagwaantaan Box House, Killer Whale clan—that my work took on a deeper sense of purpose. This artistic transformation allowed me to merge ancestral storytelling with a modern medium, giving voice to both my culture and my artistic vision. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy work challenges the notion that Native artists must only use traditional materials. By embracing glass as a storytelling medium, I seek to affirm our presence and identity, reinforcing that Indigenous cultures are dynamic, evolving, and rooted in resilience. Through my art, I strive to amplify Indigenous voices, ensuring that we are seen, heard, and recognized on our own terms. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Preston Singletary Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45413485117555,"sku":"#P13-04","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/9995\/3267\/files\/images_f2cf5843-2525-42ca-9c45-156ff6f579b4.jpg?v=1787864666","url":"https:\/\/store.biartmuseum.org\/products\/moon-mask-by-preston-singletary","provider":"BIMA Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
