with Preston Singletary at the new Microsoft Campus
It has been a great honor to work with Preston Singletary to make “Raven’s Escape” for the new Microsoft Campus in Redmond, Washington. Preston is a great craftsmen, collaborator and friend. His work explores native modernism, and native futurism through his studio glasswork. He explores these themes with his native funk rock and jazz fusion band KHU.ÉEX’.
Lumiere Group approached Preston to create an outdoor installation for the new Microsoft campus. This part of the campus is designed by Berger Associates and is constructed by Skanska.
Preston and I discussed the idea of a modernist series of totems for the campus. Themes of technology, light and ideas taking flight came to mind. Preston felt that Raven filled with light would be the perfect subject for the idea.
