As of 2022, current and upcoming exhibitions include 2 solo shows: University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC and Buckham Gallery in Flint, Michigan.

Morgan Craig sees architectural structures as both repositories and vehicles for memory, influencing culture and identity, by providing a tangible framework through which facets of society can be expressed. Dialectics and the Decommodified: The Spectres of Capital deals with how identity is influenced by the types of architectural edifices present in a given landscape. Within the realm of Jacques Derrida’s theory of Hauntology, the paintings speak of the slow disintegration of the future, and the abysmal fragmentation of the past.
