Dogs in bathrooms what art is for and Irish stew
When my new artist book “Dogs by Sue Clancy” came out (mid Feb 2017) I showed an advance copy to a dear friend who said “I hope this won’t offend you but this would be a perfect bathroom book!” Of course I wasn’t offended! In fact I think bathrooms are the perfect place for good art…
