Referencing Joseph Beuys’s Fettstuhl, Knight’s sculptural seat employs austerity and symbolism: a wooden chair is interrupted by a leather wedge cushion, rendering it unusable, while a simple cross marks its back—a reference to the makeshift street signs used during World War II blackouts in London. Knight’s practice fuses personal craftsmanship with historical research, echoing Beuys’s conceptual strategies while grounding them in his own vocabulary of trauma, resilience, and vernacular design.
