Synopsis
Orla Barry is a self-confessed ovine addict. She lived in Brussels for 16 years and now lives and works in South East Ireland where she runs a flock of pedigree 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, as she floats between these worlds. It reflects upon the primal, poetic and unpredictable bond she has with the natural world.
