Centering Northwest Native glass arti sts alongside a broader group of glassblowers\, the exhibition highlights glass as a rigorous\, evolving discipline where technical mastery and cult ural knowledge converge. Ideal for collectors\, curious visitors\, and ded icated PNW art appreciators alike\, Luminosity offers a compelling view in to the depth and momentum of the contemporary glass world. \nArtist Bio: \ nEd Archie NoiseCat (Shuswap/Stlitlimx – Interior Salish): Ed Archie Noi seCat\, a Shuswap and Stl’itl’kemx artist\, was raised in the mountain ous interior of British Columbia\, where a close connection to land\, fami ly\, 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. Whet her monumental or intimate\, his carvings and sculptural works reflect a l ifelong commitment to craft\, transformation\, and the lived continuity of culture. \nPreston Singletary (Tlingit): Preston Singletary\, a Tlingit a rtist of the Eagle moiety\, Kaagwaantaan clan\, merges formline design wit h contemporary glass to create work grounded in storytelling. Since the 19 80s\, his practice has redefined the possibilities of Indigenous art\, usi ng glass to carry forward lineage\, identity\, and tradition while challen ging expectations of material. Through both his artwork and collaborations with Indigenous artists globally\, Singletary continues to expand and aff irm the evolving presence of Native voices in contemporary art. \nDan Frid ay (Lummi): Dan Friday\, a Seattle-based glass artist and member of the Lu mmi Nation\, creates work rooted in cultural heritage\, personal narrative \, and the transformative power of making. Influenced by a lineage of Lumm i artists and shaped through decades of experience with leading glassmaker s\, his sculptures—totems\, baskets\, salmon\, and reefnet anchors—hon or both tradition and lived experience. Through glass\, Friday bridges cul tural 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 i nto highly realistic\, molten glass sculptures. Trained in Venetian techni ques and shaped by collaborations with master artists like William Morris and Lino Tagliapietra\, he works with skilled teams to create complex\, la rge-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 compl exities 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\, e nvironment\, and the fragile systems that sustain them.

Influence d by nostalgic memories from childhood and iconic films such as Alice in W onderland and Charlie & The Chocolate Factory\, the collection of glossy g lass creates a conceptual candy universe of magic\, dreams\, and indulgenc e. \nElevated lighting Louis Poulsen partnered with the famous Danish arch itect Poul Henningsen to elevate lighting to the realm of great design. Th e company still manufactures Henningsen’s iconic works like the Artichok e and Snowball pendants to the architect’s same exacting specifications. \nFrench-American designer Sophie Lou Jacobsen creates objects and furnit ure for everyday use\, but with details designed to delight the user. Work ing mainly with colored borosilicate glass as her medium\, Jacobsen explor es the relationship between humans and the inanimate\, imbuing a sense of poetry into the objects with which we surround ourselves\, from cocktail g lasses to pendant lights. \nBorn in Tunisia and raised in England\, Tom Di xon’s reputation frequently precedes him. His mystique as a bad boy – Dixon dropped out of art school following a motorcycle accident and spent time in his 20s playing bass with a rock band and organizing warehouse par ties – is nearly as recognized as his unmistakable gift for design and e mergence as one of England’s most influential designers.

Her palette of soft tones a nd subtle colors continues to be informed by her childhood in the high des ert of Nevada. Virtually blind in one eye\, she sees the world two ways si multaneously\, leaving her to wonder just what is real. This is complement ed by a life-long interest in the way energy becomes one thing and then an other\, and her work tends to be ambiguous and often roughly finished\, re presenting the unfolding of possibility.
