Lorraine Tuck

Limbo

Lorraine Tuck’s photography explores the emotional power of the image, shaped by empathy and close observation. With Limbo, Tuck returns to the children’s burial grounds known as cillíní - sites where unbaptised infants and others were historically laid to rest. Revisiting work first made in Connemara, she now extends this focus across County Galway.

Through large-format photographs of stark, windswept landscapes, Tuck evokes histories of loss and remembrance. Attentive to light and texture, her work presents the land as a quiet witness, holding traces of lives and stories that might otherwise fade from memory. Tuck, nominated for the Prix Pictet in 2024, lives and works in County Galway.
