Fusion Notes, a visual memoir, is a loosely thematic dive into Preston Singletary’s life and artistic practices. The title of this book speaks to Singletary’s multi-faceted spirit, Tlingit background, and enduring love for music and the medium of glass.

Glass is a material still young in its recognition within the broader market of contemporary art. And yet, through his many years of traditional education as an apprentice, assistant, and team member working with some of the foremost masters of the American Studio Glass movement, Singletary has drawn international attention to it through integration of two ancient practices—the medium itself, and his deployment of traditional Northwest Coast formline design in glass.

As has been a hallmark of his ever-evolving visual work and his music, Singletary is leaning into this storytelling of his life as another act of experimentation and collaboration.
