Horiuchi is a visual artist who captures familiar experiences and natural phenomena in her work as vivid expressions that evoke intuitive imagery. Her fellowship research will center on Robert Smithson and his contemporaries, who created land art and other large-scale works across the U.S. countryside that were later exhibited and documented in their archives in New York. Through archival research and interactions with local experts and artists, she will explore their approach to creating and presenting art in both urban and remote settings, investigating the significance of archives and how they can inform contemporary art today. Some of Horiuchi’s prospective site visits include the Smithson and Holt Foundation in New Mexico, Holt's Sun Tunnel in Utah, and Walter De Maria's Lightning Field, among others.
