"Painting is for me an act of social dreaming, a way to visualize queer and anticapitalist forms of relationality. My work imagines a world in which people are free to play. The figures in my portraits redirect all the fierce energy that we typically devote to wage labor into whimsical athletic pursuits and joyous group bonding." — Fay Sanders
