Sheryl Oring

Sheryl Oring is one of my favorite artists that we have explored this class so far. She goes to a location and sets up a booth where people can express their opinions on the way that the country is being run by the President and after she gets peoples opinions via typewriter she mails the letters to the White house for reading by the President. She has a website where you can view the entries that have been sent over to the White house via electronic media copy. These opinions are not always just thoughtless uneducated responses but a lot of the time they express legitimate concern over the countries operations that people wish to get across. For every entry you can feel the character and  humanity going in.
