This page lists many of Clancy’s artist book titles. An “artist book” is a book conceived as an art object. It reveals a story over time and space using a combination of content and art technique in a way that directly involves the viewers participation. Artist books are the ultimate mixed media: combining various artistic methods such as drawing, painting, creative writing, collage, digital media, layout, design, gluing, binding and of course storytelling.
Most of Sue’s artist books are themselves unique works of art – as you’ll see on this page – occasionally she uses other book formats such as the ebook still using an ‘artist book’ concept but experimentally using print and ebook publishing formats. – for example the graphic novel/chapbook “Dr. Bob’s Emotional Repair Program First Aid Kit” or artist monographs such as the eBook “Coffee, Table, Book“.
Btw: The “Dr. Bob’s Emotional Repair Program First Aid Kit” (links below) is the meta-data behind all of Sue’s artwork. It explains in a round-about way why she does the kind of art she does. Here’s a photo of a box full of the new print edition.
This new paperback print version of “Dr. Bob’s Emotional Repair Program First Aid Kit” is now available worldwide. Direct link for the printed book here. Here is the eBook link
