Sheryl Oring is a performance artist who sits at a table with her typewriter waiting for people to sit down with her. The people who sit with her dictate a letter that they wish to be sent to the President.
After hearing about Oring's work, I was in awe and interested. I feel that she is making a statement about herself and is helping others to make their own statements. Her art is unique and expressive. Oring is able to express herself and others, and to me that is amazing.
From reading the letters that people wrote, I saw that they varied greatly. Some were short and sweet, while others were more in-depth and addressed concerns. Some praised the President, while others bashed him. Oring typed exactly what she was told. She did not write variations, but only the truth. The letters were meant to be the individuals voices, and she did not distort them.
