The impossible beauty of Lau Nau’s work combines water from many wells: womanhood, motherhood, the sea, isolation, togetherness, Polar light, Northern darkness… In her work, the inheritances of the Finnish archipelago and forest take human shape and are relayed through magical resonances.
“Nukahtamislaulu” means “Lullaby” in Finnish, but the first track from the forthcoming Lau Nau album reminds us that adults need soothing, too.
