Depiction of a character from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Flamingos are used as cricket bats in the novel. The bird is seen from above, a bit diagonally. The feathering was depicted by the accurately drawn small, conjoined (like roofing slates) hemicycles, the net of which is stretched from the eyes to the tip of the tail. The figure’s main line is the shape of the letter S on its side. Feathering of the wings in marked by thick, long lines. The drawing was part of the visuals prepared for the International Children’s Day in the POLIN Museum in 2016, inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (www.polin.pl/pl/dziendziecka2016); it was used to design parts of scenography (on part of the cricket bat).

Drawn on reused paper – overleaf text for the gallery of the History of Polish Jews: a bicolour imprint filling the entire page, beginning with words “Dear Guests, big and small!”
