Bostonians listen up! 20x200 photographer and Summer 2005 Hey, Hot Shot! Robert Knight will be in a solo show, My Boat is so Small, at Gallery Kayafas on October 16th.

Robert's statement:

The series My Boat is so Small is a continuation of my project photographing domestic interiors as a form of portraiture. As a parent of two young children, I am concerned about the expectations of parents and the reinforcement of these expectations through societal institutions, media imagery, and cultural traditions. Through my photographs I perceive a parent's hopes and dreams about their child's future physical image, intelligence and success as well as tensions that may exist between these aspirations and reality. I hope that these images will make the viewer conscious of the pressures which children face, and the potential effects of the myriad images and objects to which they are exposed.
