Photography Professor Morgan Ford Willingham’s Work Receives International Recognition
Photography Professor Morgan Ford Willingham’s recent work received international recognition and award in Europe, while another body of work will be on display in New York over the summer.
Ford Willingham‘s work has been selected for inclusion in the prestigious international Form Photo Award 2026 Longlist. From Form:
“This year, the standard of work is exceptionally high, reflecting the remarkable talent and creativity of contemporary photographers from around the world. Each longlisted artist brings a unique perspective, a fresh aesthetic, and thought-provoking ideas that challenge and inspire… This year’s longlist demonstrates just how dynamic the field of contemporary photography has become, and we are proud to highlight the vision, originality, and skill of all the artists included.”
Ford Willingham pushes the boundaries of photography, printing on fabric and using various methods such as cyanotype, and embroidery. Her work Notions & Impressions “…consider[s] how instrumental nature versus nurture is in the developing roles of parent and child, the two fluctuating between the observer and the observed.”
Ford Willingham’s work has also been selected in the juried exhibition Unmoored / Unbound at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC) in Brooklyn, NY. From the exhibition:
“Unmoored / Unbound is a juried group exhibition featuring 40 artists working across a wide range of mediums who explore themes of loss, transition, liberation, freedom and deliverance in their work. This exhibition presents how art can be a vessel for transition, a source of strength and wisdom, and a conduit for community in times of disruption.”
The exhibition runs May 22 to August 9, 2026 at Powerhouse Arts, 322 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, New York.
