Preston Singletary
Sealaska Heritage Institute
Juneau, Alaska
This project for the Walter Soboleff Center in Juneau extends Preston Singletary’s exploration of contemporary indigenous northwest art through his use of Tlingit’s cultural Clan House and House Posts.
Fireart furthered its long-time collaboration with Singletary by developing mold practices that capture the signature marks of the high relief wood carving. Starting from two similar carvings, Eagle and Raven, Fireart made one piece in yellow and one in a rich blue; each weighs over 600 pounds. A twenty-eight panel image of Clan House completes the installation.

Commemorative Mural
Sisters of Providence
Renton, Washington
Inspired by the glass mural in Montreal that was commissioned by the Sisters of Providence, this modern interpretation blends textural elements of nature, Christianity and historic photography. Starting with PDG's concept, Fireart's Jeff Wallin worked with Acme Graphic Design to create a rich vocabulary of distinct visual elements.
Components made from custom glass blends and photo transfers were hand cut, assembled, and fused into four large panels for a seamless presentation. LED lamps backlight the installation.

Donor Recognition
University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro
Plainsboro, NJ
Fireart created the four seasons in glass for Princeton University's new medical center donor walls and plaques. The concept, from Presentation Design Group, was to carry the color scheme of the four seasons throughout the hospital. Nearly 300 pieces were fabricated using a combination of sheet glass, powdered glass, and silkscreened images on five major walls and numerous individual donor plaques.
