Clarke “In Ballina Arts Centre in you can watch the anglers standing for hours in Ridge Pool. I wonder who we are in the information flow? Fish or fisherman? “Leah 2018/2019. Digital Transformations uses conferences, consultancy and unique partnerships to propose a radical new relationship between arts, technology, education, policy and society. In 2018 Digital Transformations awarded me the inaugural Digital Society bursary for my project Knowledge Flow. An interactive installation using vibrant felt installations, stencils and Discovery Pens, Knowledge Flow explores how we try to capture and hold onto knowledge. In the past, this was done through tradition, custom, and ritual. The fact that these methods might not be possible in a digital society made me want to investigate how the bonds created by flows of knowledge between people and generations will be created and strengthened in a digital society. For the exhibition in Ballina Arts Centre, I contextualised the story of the Salmon of Knowledge through my own questions and observations about the flow of information via technology in contemporary life. My narrative wove its way through a mixture of audio recordings, objects and images. With support from Arts & Disability Ireland, Discovery Pens made the work accessible to the visual impaired. In Irish mythology, Fionn is a young warrior who leaves home to learn the skills and obtain the wisdom to be an adult. His mentor Finegas is desperate to catch the elusive Salmon of Knowledge because the first person to taste it will have infinite wisdom. However Fionn accidentally tastes it before Finegas. In a digitised society, where automation mediates every aspect of our lives, what will happen to knowledge of the self, others, nature, words and symbols, and to the unique experience of human sharing? Can a society based on digital technology ever permit deep and personal experiences? 2020/2021. Knowledge Flow was to be shown in the NCAD Gallery in 2020, accompanied by a bespoke series of seminars around issues of accessibility to the visual arts. Redesigned as a sitespecific work, I was examining knowledge pathways between people and generations, using traditional metaphors of flowing as a key to understanding cultural memory, family identity, and social cohesion in a digital society. Unfortunately, this exhibition had to be postponed.

Bright and brash the car cover is a trojan horse to spark a conversation about the car within the feminist city. The car cover serves as a slide deck with the audience walking around the car and being drawn to different motifs and concepts during the presentation. Through the use of fabric, texture and physical space, a different type of encounter is stimulated, and creative engagement enabled. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b32230f50a54f95e6a7e14d/849c14a0-dbf3-49f6-836f-b1e45b7755d6/Leahhilliard_FOUO.jpg Work https://www.leahhilliard.com/brine-jasper-1 daily 0.75 2021-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1461274021205-581EOYQN0IGUJ69M41SW/pickles-editorial-blue.jpg Brine Pickles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1460573576813-YY0P53DVV9990ZIVKQE3/pickles-editorial-yellow.jpg Brine Pickles Art direction, branding, and packaging design for a pickle shop based in L.A. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1465575558361-ZQHSHT59AFG4U8RU09ME/brine-logo.jpg Brine Pickles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1460572726459-5R5QQNJ6N3LX6NGL2S7V/pickles-editorial-blue.jpg Brine Pickles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1465416436672-U1HOCTP3I2WSLJYLAU6P/pickles-editorial-green.jpg Brine Pickles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1460572783131-6YDS3S34AQDVB18NAAKF/pickles-editorial-pink.jpg Brine Pickles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1464286741154-P5R18TNAVHBM14LDKGAK/website-brine.jpg Brine Pickles Visit the site https://www.leahhilliard.com/moodboard-jasper daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1461605452797-QA7MI71TS32XTRI3GVOU/Untitled-1.jpg Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1461619355997-ZAV09MWPDQNH86LHF90N/untitled.jpeg Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1461620489237-QAQ6U7KEO5III0AYUIFS/get-real.jpg Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1461618928008-H5L4OM00O8XDG5SFFWXY/7.jpg Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1461618408530-Y4QZHI2APVIJMRFUG8Q7/crop.jpg Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1464031021138-YBETCAKP0EZE4GN5QP20/pareidolia.jpg Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1464033164561-OWERNGEYR0AKBOTZVETB/Untitled-2.png Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1464033301507-TSX1XY70Q79O991CW3GM/Screen+Shot+2015-03-09+at+4.21.13+PM.png Moodboard https://www.leahhilliard.com/about daily 0.75 2021-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b32230f50a54f95e6a7e14d/1619090908471-326JI6DODFKELV5SR7G2/image.jpg About Leah packing up after working at the kitchen table.
