Columbus\, Ohio. His current work consists of primarily lens-based materia
l that interweave sociology\, philosophy\, and anthropology. He aims to sho
w the deep love and interconnectedness of life in the city he is from\, as
a black photographer he believes it is imperative to participate in making
the work about his community from his perspective. \n\nWillis is a graduate
of Otterbein University where he received a Bachelor’s of Arts in Painting
and Drawing\, as well as a Bachelor’s of Arts in Philosophy. He was recent
ly named a GCAC Art Unites CBus award recipient\, and is a featured artist
for the Apple Inc. Hometown Series.\n\nThe Home We Know by Ben Willis is a
forthcoming monograph about the residents of Columbus\, Ohio. The work was
made from 2017-2021. Ben describes the work as a love letter to his communi
ty and all that makes it move and thrive.\n\n“My work is a labor of love\,
and the work much like life is held together by that kind of love and admir
ation for one another but also one’s self. When you walk around and interac
t in the city you’ve got to remember what you’re looking at is also you. I
do that through street portraiture. I try to express love and relationships
through my work.” -Ben Willis
