  • "The physical origin of Gerhardt Knodel's work is in the grid: the basic structure of loom woven textiles and a universally used pattern of organization. While the grid locates his art within the textile medium and its historical evolution, it also links it to the phenomenon of centering. The intersection of horizontal and vertical, warp and weft, of longitude and latitude creates an internal order that has physical, cultural, social, and architectural meaning used by Knodel in the work. Each intersection anticipates the next one and the next, "reflecting," writes Knodel, "the entire history of weaving as a recreation of the essence of textiles, an echo of that first moment of discovery in the construction of a textile. Each new intersection returns to that original moment and is a promise of that which is to come. To weave is to renew."--Page 18."
