For this assignment, I used a Xerox machine to copy images of both my left and right hands. I then decided to honor my home country of Canada and recreate the Canadian Maple Leaf.

She is widely considered as a prominent artist throughout not only the United States, but also internationally. What separates Sheryl Oring from other artists? Well more than anything, her work is meaningful to the public as it examines important social issues. She takes into account the opinions of the public and in 2004 conducted her most impressive public performance; "I Wish To Say." For this project, Sheryl has typed and sent over 2000 postcards to the President of The United States. For this performance piece, Sheryl received many accolades including; “Person of the Week” award on ABC’s World News Tonight; a Creative Capital grant; and a New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship.
