Knight

Knight, 20101027, 36 × 48 × 50 in (914 × 1219 × 1270 mm), digital image of acrylic, spray paint and found objects on paper and wood

Fischer 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.
