Sheryl Oring

Sheryl Oring's website is fairly interesting. Looking through her different projects, the political aspect of some of her projects is very interesting, including "I wish to say" and "the birthday project."In, "I wish to say," citizens told Oring what to type out to the President, everything from their thoughts on the War in Iraq to things going on in their lives that they need help with. A couple of interesting ones came from Arizona in 2004 where the citizens said that they have been waiting to get electricity for their entire life and yet they still did not have any in their homes. Other ones such as "writing home" is just incredibly interesting in its own right. What Sheryl Oring does with her typewriter as art pieces is very unique and thoughtful way of getting other people involved in what she does.
