SUMMARY:Luminosity: Our Annual Group Glass Exhibition ♿
DESCRIPTION:October marks the fifth year of Luminosity\, Stonington Gallery’s annual group glass exhibition. Centering Northwest Native glass artists alongside a broader group of glassblowers\, the exhibition highlights glass as a rigorous\, evolving discipline where technical mastery and cultural knowledge converge. Ideal for collectors\, curious visitors\, and dedicated PNW art appreciators alike\, Luminosity offers a compelling view into the depth and momentum of the contemporary glass world. \nArtist Bio: \nEd Archie NoiseCat (Shuswap/Stlitlimx – Interior Salish): Ed Archie NoiseCat\, a Shuswap and Stl’itl’kemx artist\, was raised in the mountainous interior of British Columbia\, where a close connection to land\, family\, and story shaped his approach to making. Drawing from both his mother’s plateau culture and his father’s coastal lineage\, he creates works that carry ancestral narratives through material\, scale\, and form. Whether monumental or intimate\, his carvings and sculptural works reflect a lifelong commitment to craft\, transformation\, and the lived continuity of culture. \nPreston Singletary (Tlingit): Preston Singletary\, a Tlingit artist of the Eagle moiety\, Kaagwaantaan clan\, merges formline design with contemporary glass to create work grounded in storytelling. Since the 1980s\, his practice has redefined the possibilities of Indigenous art\, using glass to carry forward lineage\, identity\, and tradition while challenging expectations of material. Through both his artwork and collaborations with Indigenous artists globally\, Singletary continues to expand and affirm the evolving presence of Native voices in contemporary art. \nDan Friday (Lummi): Dan Friday\, a Seattle-based glass artist and member of the Lummi Nation\, creates work rooted in cultural heritage\, personal narrative\, and the transformative power of making. Influenced by a lineage of Lummi artists and shaped through decades of experience with leading glassmakers\, his sculptures—totems\, baskets\, salmon\, and reefnet anchors—honor both tradition and lived experience. Through glass\, Friday bridges cultural continuity and contemporary practice\, using the material to reflect identity\, resilience\, and community. \nRaven Skyriver (Tlingit): Raven Skyriver\, a Washington-born glass artist raised in the San Juan Islands\, draws deep inspiration from the natural world\, translating marine life into highly realistic\, molten glass sculptures. Trained in Venetian techniques and shaped by collaborations with master artists like William Morris and Lino Tagliapietra\, he works with skilled teams to create complex\, large-scale forms. His work reflects both technical mastery and a reverence for nature\, inviting viewers to consider the beauty and fragility of the ecosystems his subjects inhabit. \nKelly O’Dell (Non-Indigenous): Kelly O’Dell\, a Seattle-born artist raised on Hawaiʻi’s Big Island\, draws from a childhood shaped by ocean life\, artistic practice\, and the complexities of a place marked by both ecological richness and colonial legacy. Trained in glass at the University of Hawaiʻi and further shaped through work at Pilchuck\, her practice centers on themes of species extinction\, conservation\, and human impact on the natural world. Now based on Lopez Island\, her work continues to reflect a life closely attuned to water\, environment\, and the fragile systems that sustain them.
