DescriptionFischer works under the impression that human nature is a fallible and susceptible state but finds constancy in the empirical nature of the real. Made alongside Grandfather Wreath, the Knight is a personification of the syncretism between ‘mind’ and ‘brain’. The mind is a container of mutability while the brain perseveres with aimless poise.ProvenanceInscription
