Notes for Sheepland movie at Kate Kearney's Cottage

Wise Wool project is delighted to be offering a viewing of the film Notes from Sheepland.

Orla Barry is a self-confessed ovine addict. She is a decade in sheep,
she’s still wondering what possessed her to start but yet she wouldn’t
want to be anywhere else. Orla lived in Brussels for 16 years and now
lives and works in South East Ireland where she runs a flock of pedigree
Lleyn sheep. Her work deals with the tensions of being an artist and
an eco-farmer in rural Ireland. The Sheep have slowed her art career
but at the same, caring for them has hugely inspired it. She escapes
the studio by going to the sheep, escapes the sheep by hiding in her
studio. NOTES FROM SHEEPLAND follows Orla, an outlier, as she floats
between these worlds. It reflects upon the primal, poetic and
unpredictable bond she has with the natural worlderance with her daily
rural responsibilities.
