Ponder This: When Is The Last Time You Wrote A Letter? (c.2012-15)

Nearly three decades ago, Psychologist James Pennebaker discovered a shocking correlation between secrets and health outcomes - that people who kept more secrets were dealing with more health issues. Today, secrets are generally considered bad. But in today’s episode, we’re going to discuss creative secret keepers. These people use secrets to form relationships, to explore worlds they wouldn’t otherwise be able to access, even to build new lives for themselves until - well - the secret’s out. Today we’ll explore what opportunities open up when someone keeps a secret, and what happens when that secret is revealed.

"I have a hunger for questions and even more of a hunger to dive beneath the surface even if it risks comfort. My penchant for breaking into abandoned places has trained my eye and body to engage with the unseen in many ways while also asking questions like: What is forgotten to human memory that should be reclaimed?  Most dear to me overall is exploring the human experience by asking the difficult and uncomfortable questions as a way of diving beneath the surface of life. A key piece of my art making also resides within dialogue and how exchanges with others further inform my inquiry.”
