Sherry is best known for his performance art, including ‘Stitching;’ a video of him stitching pieces of wood to his feet while he offers verbal instructions on how to do this. Other works include ‘Carrying a bucket of water about for a week’ and ‘Avoiding eye contact for one seven-day period’, both of which consist of the activities in their titles. Sherry has said that “social rules and regulations fill up every head to bursting point,” and he is trying to "expose the systematic processes of day-to-day life".
