Killer Whale Totem

Preston Singletary’s ‘Killer Whale Totem’ is a captivating bronze sculpture adorned with a vibrant palette of mixed patinas. Intricately designed, it portrays stacked, intertwined figures reminiscent of traditional totems. At the base, a commanding, grinning visage with copper-hued features is accentuated by an imposing dorsal fin rising from the forehead—the unmistakable symbol of the Killer Whale. Flanking this central motif, a pair of grimacing figures clutch ornate shields and wear tiered, golden headgear. Above and behind these figures, a stylized raven effigy emerges, its plumage and features highlighted in a vibrant blue patina. Crowning the totem, an abstract and symbolic representation with subtle mammalian features completes this compelling testament to Singletary’s masterful craftsmanship and deep cultural inspirations.
