Potter Ayumi Horie's practice, developed over 20 years, has encompassed many media including ceramics, photography, and social practice, but her primary focus is making functional pots. Her work often includes drawings of animals or other images that seek to provoke an emotional response, explore individual vulnerability, and deepen the connection between people and their communities. Her large-scale ceramics projects include the Democratic Cup Project, Portland Brick, Obamaware, and Pots in Action, among others.
