Irish Film Institute -Notes from Sheepland

Notes from Sheepland

Director: Cara Holmes


Notes from Sheepland bursts with candid observations of the lipstick-wearing, always swearing, no-nonsense artist and shepherd, Orla Barry. Through her fields, her digital diaries, and the pedigree sheep she cares for, we discover how the art is in the doing.

Barry previously published her book, Shaved Rapunzel, Scheherazade and the Shearling Ram from Arcady; this collection of her performance text and written works explored the different worlds of being an artist and a shepherd.
