First
published in 2004, "Untitled (Knight)" is a
tapestry of ideas, tightly woven together. In it,
Scott Mutter explores familiar issues of faith and
its tangible representations. The shield, fashioned
from a church's stained-glass window, seems to
protect the figure from unseen forces lurking in a
threatening landscape. But does the divine light
emanating from the shield come from inside the
church, or from within the knight? Or could it be a
heavenly glow, reflected (or even deflected) as it
glances off the shield?
