Sheryl Oring is an artist whose work includes several "installations" featuring typewriters. Her projects, such as Travel Desk (featured below), invite people to talk about important topics or issues and to transform them into physical art. "I Wish to Say" was probably one of her most famous works. Individuals were asked what they wished to say to the president and Sheryl typed them up onto a post card.
Oring's work is by no means a conventional art form. It really challenges what we traditionally think of as art. At the same time, though, it accomplishes the purposes of starting a conversation and valuing people's words.
