LAB (2013) conjures the body as the trace of a sooty hand appears, spectrally, on a crumpled paper towel.

Kori Newkirk received his MFA from the University of California at Irvine, and is a visual artist working in mixed media and installation. Capturing imprints, fragments, fluids, or single parts, Newkirk manifests an interest in the traces of his own presence and existence.
