Tree

The drawing depicts King Maciuś the First and Janusz Korczak dressed in a blue knee-length coat - the kind we know from Blumka's Diary by Iwona Chmielewska. They are sitting on the lower branch of a tree, unleafed, with snow-covered branches. The tree grows out of sheets of paper (in the lower part of the trunk of the tree, a golden crown can be seen, which is leitmotivic for the project, below, by the roots of the left part - sparrows). This is another clear example in the whole project of composing work from drawn elements and pieces of paper. In this case, these are especially pieces of paper from notebooks. One of them, in lines with a red margin, is incidentally another reminiscence of Blumka's Diary in the project (the stripes from such a page were the leitmotif of the whole project). Also the sticking out from under the pages refers back to Chmielewska's project: the Blumka diary had such a sticker (but only on the inside of the cover). The whole composition was glued on an unfolded cardboard folder - on the reverse side there is the imprint of Karkonoskie Zakłady Papiernicze in Jelenia Góra, which no longer exists (it operated until 1996 under the name Jeleniogórska Zakłady Papiernicze), under that name the Jelenia Góra paper mill had been operating since the early 1970s; the company's imprint shows: pencil/crayon on the bias, above on the left an inscription: TECZKA RYSUNKOWA SZKOLNA [SCHOOL DRAWING FILE], on the pencil representation: KARKONOSKIE ZAKŁADY PAPIERNICZE W JELENIEJ GÓRZE, below on the right price and production numbers).
