Invisible

Gerhardt Knodel weaves, cuts, sews, and draws; he writes and photographs. He also collects textiles of the past. His interaction with audiences continues to be explored in many forms, from architecturally scaled installations to intimate games. Knodel's studio practice spans nearly fifty years, thirty-seven of them invested as artist-in-residence, then director, and now director emeritus of Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, near the studio in Pontiac. In 2017, he was honored with the Gold Medal bestowed by the American Crafts Council.
