Myers relocates Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem to a city basketball court. Superbly composed paintings full of sinuous arms, sharp angles, and low-to-the-ground perspectives capture the ominous mood. Bold design lets the text become a visual element, employing agitated block letters, some placed on patches of color to provide emphasis. Myers's approach is fresh, and the art and design are in synch.
