Fact, Imagination and Maritime Model Boats with Katherine Knight

Through engaging stories with makers and imaginative images of model boats, photographer and author Katherine Knight takes us inside the covers of her new book: BOAT. 

Out of the museum and into the wild, Katherine Knight’s photographs imagine model boats reconnected to their stories and sites of origin. Since 2015, she has been photographing model boats — imagining them at sea, on display, and in the changing weather of a maritime landscape. In this fascinating and highly original book, she teases out the allure of the boat model while also exploring the impulse to collect and the desire to tell stories in material form.
