See Chambers, Leotta, Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass, 2020, Museum of New Mexico Press, Santa Fe, for an overview of Singletary's artistry and vision: 'Over the past thirty years, Singletary has developed a singular body of work ranging from symbolic pieces that tell the story of his culture to renditions in glass of vessels, boxes, and baskets. Looking at his work collectively, one can see he has created an entire iconography of glass art drawn from Tlingit motifs, but his forms are somewhat abstracted, giving a contemporary feel to his beautiful creations.' p.49.
