Hildur Guðnadóttir  |  Leyfdu Ljosinu

Hildur is a cellist, vocalist, and composer based in Iceland. Her work is absolutely stunning and deeply affecting.  Early this morning I was listening to her newest piece while weaving and I kept thinking about the relationship of lightness and darkness.  I came around to the idea that (whilst I was living there) Iceland brought a darkness that I had never known out in me as well as delicate, emphermeral moments of heightened lightness. After listening to this piece I looked at the title more closely and it translates to “Allow the Light.”
