KENT
2012, HD, 4.5 minutes
For over fifty years, a seventy year old Californian woman, has farmed a particular breed of English sheep. The Romney Marsh sheep, originally from Kent in England and sometimes referred to as the ‘Kent’, was introduced into America in the early 20th century. As a working artist, the woman breeds sheep exclusively for their wool, working to clean and spin the fleece and also to use the wool in various imaginative, two dimensional landscapes. The film evokes the feeling of being in this unique Sonoma County farm and art studio, imagined and built by this creative and quiet woman.
