Ewing's narrative takes us from the streets of 1990s Chicago to an unspecified future, deftly navigating the boundaries of space, time, and reality. Ewing imagines familiar figures in magical circumstances--blues legend Koko Taylor is a tall-tale hero; LeBron James travels through time and encounters his teenage self. She identifies everyday objects--hair moisturizer, a spiral notebook--as precious icons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer visual art is spare, playful, and poignant--a cereal box decoder ring that allows the wearer to understand what Black girls are saying; a teacher's angry, subversive message scrawled on the chalkboard. \u003cem\u003eElectric Arches\u003c\/em\u003e invites fresh conversations about race, gender, the city, identity, and the joy and pain of growing up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEve L.
