In 2020 Liadh collaborated with friend and designer Zoe Redmond on a project entitled: The Lady of The Northside, questioning the significance of the symbolic figure of The Lady on the Rock - a porcelain statuette, which features prominently in the windows of working class homes in Dublin.
They wanted to start a public conversation by pasting the image on derelict buildings and vacant spaces in Dublin city. It was their way of reclaiming ownership of the city by making a bold statement and prompting people to ask “Who is this woman, why is she here?” When they posted it to Instagram it went viral and the conversation was seen and heard by hundreds of people. They then took it a step further, by working with a designer to make a zine and have it printed. They printed 200 copies, which are currently selling very well, and after costs, the profits will go to Women’s Aid, which they felt tied in with the connection to all of those women over the years who have placed this idealised woman in their windows. What has she witnessed and what meaning does she embody?
