When I am awake, my mind is filled with fragments from my dream world. I call these fragments slivers; splinters, something split, or broken off. The splinters in Slivers are parts of a larger body. Between the splinters there is space, and when combined these splinters become a network of striations reminiscent of veins. When these fragments come together as a whole, I consider this form to be a body.
The framework of red sticks, or Slivers, are my way of forming a body. I call these bodies, entities, and human-like in their movement, yet neither human nor creature. These red sticks are not a literal body, but rather a trace, and shadow of a human body. These entities are concepts of the human body and an externalization of the body. The red forms are projections of myself both physically and mentally, my thinking and presence on this earth.

The entities are a projection of myself in space. The space in which these entities exist in is not a place in the real world but rather one that exists in my mind. My dream like world is enforced by the lack of boundaries or perimeters and dimensionless space. The space is the dark recesses of my mind, of the unknown.  The unknown is where the id lays, the primitive self, and thus in this realm of the unknown, our instinct rules over reason.

 Within the space, there are holes in which we do not know the answers and where uncertainty lurks. We fill in the missing information driven by our desire to know wby. Our instinct is to manifest, and we generate fear and anxiety. Red motion opens a window into the space of the entities.  This space is dimensionless and there are no perimeters or boundaries.

This externalization of self allows me to confront uncertainties, and deal with my fear of the unknown. Some allay their fear of the unknown thru technology and its promise to provide us with seemingly endless knowledge. But while technology seems to extend our mental and physical reach, it detaches us from ourselves and block the type of knowledge we gain through direct and visceral experiences with our bodies. I believe the only way to confront the unknown is through direct, unmediated experiences. These entities are an expression of my grasp for this understanding.
