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.

His photographs are often exhibited as components of installations, existing in conversation with his sculptures.
