McBride’s To lie in the shadow of a tree with you is a reflection on loss, family and memory. Inspired by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri, this work follows in the literary steps as the Inferno, before Purgatorio and Paradiso. Started just before McBride’s grandmother passed away, we see the images created in the artist’s grief.

About the Artist
Tyrell McBride (b.1997) is a contemporary photographer currently residing in Dublin, Ireland. McBride’s works typically deal with memory, nostalgia, melancholia and the vernacularity of the family archive. His technique usually involves medium format black and white imagery, pairing archival and contemporary images together, to explore not only his own past, but the past of those who came before. Heavily influenced by Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, he now creates more internalised images of the family and of home, to further gain a sense of self.
