R.M. Fischer's installation is a sculptural project constructed of wood, steel, found materials and media-derived photographs. Fischer's work isolates and intensifies pieces of information that come to us through our education and the mass media. Fischer's presentation in this form allows the viewer to recognize cultural attitudes which already exist but are not clearly identified.
