composed of nows

A new collection of work from photographer and writer, Miriam Morris.

composed of nows takes its title from Emily Dickinson’s poem ‘Forever is composed of Nows’ in which Dickinson suggests that eternity is the accumulation of the present, each fleeting ‘now’ a part of something continuous and immeasurable. Drawing on this and the Celtic concept of hiraeth, síreacht and cianalas the series reflects a longing or ache for a time or place that can no longer be returned to - or perhaps never truly existed - with each work serving as a dreamstate vignette.

The exhibition will feature new work across 35mm photography, Polaroid and writing.

This exhibition is a part of the Season of Photography 2026 -  a celebration of photography in Scotland running from 1 September – 20 December 2026.
