Family Story Totem series is a monumental project more than 5 years in the making: a 7 foot tall 3-dimensional glass totem pole. The project began in early 2009 when Preston and his longtime friend and collaborator, woodcarver David Svenson, co-designed a full-scale totem depicting a beloved family story about Preston’s great-grandmother as a child.

The Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA, organized Preston's traveling exhibition Preston Singletary: Echoes, Fire, and Shadows in 2008, challenging him to create his most ambitious work to date. Clan House is a 16-by-10-foot cast-glass triptych that references the large-scale Tlingit crest designs that appeared in the interior of traditional longhouses.

Commissioned by Seattle University in 2011, Transformations is made from cut aluminum and flat glass. The designs are abstract and monumental - Tlingit formline in its purest form.
