Annamariah Knox

Annamariah Knox (M.F.A. '23) is an interdisciplinary artist working with textiles, soft sculpture, movement, and video. Her current work uses multimedia installations that integrate videos of body gestures with fabric sculptures to explore intuitive connection as it is accessed through the physical body. She received a B.A. in Art History and Theater from Bowdoin College and an M.F.A. from Cornell University. Recent exhibitions have been at Ortega y Gasset Projects in Brooklyn, at Cornell University, and at The Soil Factory in Ithaca, New York. In 2023, she was the recipient of a Cornell Council for the Arts grant and in 2022 of an Arts Microgrant from Cornell University. She has been an artist-in-residence at The Soil Factory and a resident at Anderson Ranch and Arrowmont School of Craft. She is currently based in Ithaca and New York City.
