"When I consider translating stories into paintings, literary devices used in magical realism and science fiction offer pathways between autobiographical fact and interpretive fiction. I build compositions with a lexicon of allegorical imagery - from anthropomorphized binoculars who tearfully lament and sweat, to back brances and Band-Aids, whose wearers posess a certain healing agency. These motifs introduce humor as a pressure release valve that eases their melancholy and catapults the paintings into a world where objects have emotional sentience."
