A sculptural apparition in Galleta Meadows—a rainbow, sketched in space from industrial materials

Kori Newkirk, who is known for transforming found materials into installations that conjure moments of unexpected beauty, and even magic, created a sculptural apparition in Galleta Meadows—a rainbow, sketched in space from industrial materials.

Lit for only one night, its blacklight shone down to the ground, bathing visitors and the landscape in its otherworldly glow. Experimenting with the visual effects of materials meant to conduct water and mimic their effects, Newkirk offered an encounter with an unnatural natural phenomenon.
