Cecilia Westerberg

Residence plan/statement
My plan is to make research, collect inspiration for new narrative strategies to apply in my figurative work. I will collect material and make tests. I will work with artists' books and animation. They often relate, a film is often turned into a book or the opposite. I will look into the different ways that non verbal narrative is used in Japanese storytelling and how creatures and ghosts from Japanese folklore are portrayed and transformed in books and animation.
