Will Morgan Holland

Will Morgan Holland is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nashville, TN. Amidst the film industry's decline, he pivoted to driving for a food delivery company, discovering inspiration on the road. With iPhone street photography and digital manipulation, Holland created the #Ubereaten series – a Gothic surrealist exploration of modern America. "This series began as a yearning to create art with as little limitations as possible. As the economy began to slow in 2024, I took to the streets in my car delivering Uber Eats. A hellscape of fast food and hours alone on the road but it paid for groceries for my kids. Stuck in a vehicle for days at a time, I challenged myself to create. Slowly, I began to see the world around me like a collage artist may see a stack of magazines. Everything around me became accessible to take and twist into something bigger than itself.

Suddenly, the beauty and humor and holiness of the everyday visual world became overwhelmingly evident.

With a small shift in perspective, every single thing in my life is now an opportunity to celebrate the present. " -WMH
