The exhibition includes 54 works including icons of Singletary’s oeuvre and examples of his significant collaborative experiences.

The process is complex, but at its most basic, the works in the collection need to relate to each other in a variety of ways. Speaking Parts explores this concept through a selection of works from the museum’s collection organized around a mixed-media construction by Northwest artist Dennis Evans. All other artworks in the gallery relate to this work in at least one way. They are grouped under three broad topics: What is a Painting? Materials and Process, and Texts and Symbols. Visitors are encouraged to look for other connections within and between the groups, exploring how artworks can play different roles depending on the context in which they are placed. A notebook in the gallery offers visitors the opportunity to create their own written “conversations” between the works on view. <<less

The Kids Design Glass education program, from which these creations originated, illustrates the symbiotic relationship between designer and glassblower. A child draws a design—generally a fantastical creature—names it, and writes a brief explanation or story. The Museum’s Hot Shop Team selects one design each month and transforms the two-dimensional drawing into a three-dimensional sculpture. As the designer, the child directs the artists as they make two sculptures—one for the child to take home and one for the Museum’s Permanent Collection. The original drawings, artist statements and photographs from the Hot Shop will be displayed alongside each piece in this exhibition. <<less
