Killerwhale Crest Hat

This artwork takes the shape of an inverted traditional Tlingit hat with an abstracted distributive design based on the Killer Whale. Singletary’s art has become synonymous with the relationship between Tlingit culture and fine art. His glass sculptures deal with themes of Tlingit mythology and traditional Native culture through a contemporary lens.  "Working with these designs gives me a sense of purpose while paying homage to my family and my ancestors.  By researching my family/tribe, I have a stronger foundation by comparing an older understanding of the world and how it works, to my current notion of society." –Artist statement
