Art Quote by Sarah Sherman
“The clown-suit collection started when my best friend, Ruby McCollister, was working at an arts day care and she stole a raggedy clown suit from the costume bin for me. She was like, 'You're gonna need to perform in these.' Everything was leaning toward clown, but I hadn't gone full clown suit until Ruby.”
