Perhaps the most loved works of Carroll Cloar are those unique and intriguing pieces evoking memories from his childhood. Starting with photographs and his own recollections, Cloar weaved together the customs of small-town life with the whimsical power of imagination to recreate a realistic, yet dreamlike depiction of his childhood. In these works, we see the world that Cloar knew as a boy illustrated through the eyes of the man he became.
