CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Okla Jones Recommends: Curated by Leatrice Ellzy Wright, My View From Seven Feet is a collection of stories and experiences from NBA All-Star Joe Barry Carroll, and he expresses his perspective through several figurative and abstract paintings that are hopeful, celebratory, and reflective. Being seven feet tall, Carroll’s point of view is a lot different from the normal person — so step into his world with this unique exhibition at Hammonds House Museum. — OJ

From the venue:

My View From Seven Feet is NBA All-Star Joe Barry Carroll’s musing on the mythical qualities some are want to assign to a person standing seven feet tall. Carroll expresses his “view” in the form of figurative and abstract paintings that are celebratory, reflective, and hopeful.

“What flows from my pen and brush feels natural to me. I am never sure if the images create words, or the words move me to images. I am unable to tell precisely what determines my composition of colors, shapes and themes. Perhaps everything is forming at the same time, resulting in a complete story.” - Joe Barry Carroll
