Notes from Sheeplandbursts with candid observations of 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. Orla Barry lived as an artist in Brussels for years until she was forced to return to her roots and come back to Ireland. Needing to make a living she turned to sheep farming, with the hopes of continuing her art on the side. Instead, she discovered the beauty of sheep and developed an ovine obsession. The film covers a year spent on Barry’s farm and examines how unexpectedly the lines between shepherd and artist can be blurred.
