While sock puppets, nude figures, and Jamaica might be unlikely bedfellows, in Katie Burnett’s world they appear harmoniously. Following up from Cabin Fever – the artist and stylist’s debut that visually documented her time in lockdown – she has today released her sophomore book, I Wash You Dry, an offering that features the aforementioned naked bodies and sock puppets, shot in Jamaica. ‘It’s one of my favourite places,’ Burnett tells System. ‘I knew I wanted to go there, a place I knew, and feel inspired. So, I essentially made a bunch of sock puppets in Brooklyn and then went to Jamaica to do this project.’
