Bea Uusma Schyffert
I work as an illustrator and writer and have previously made a book called Astronauten som inte fick landa (American edition: The man who went to the far side of the moon). It is a book about Michael Collins, the only Apollo 11 astronaut who never set foot on the moon. It is a mix between fact and fiction, picture-book and scrap book. I am currently working on a new book about Andrée and his polar expedition of 1897. I am interested in exploring and developing a style that is an equal blend of art and non-fiction. My participation on Beringia 2005 will be an invaluable help in understanding the ordeals that Andrée and his crew had to face, on the ill-fated but grand expedition that became their destiny.
