Danish artist Thomas Dambo has a unique talent – he makes colossal sculptures out of trash. He specializes in troll sculptures that range in height from 16 to 50 feet (4.8-15 m). These trolls are mythical Scandinavian monsters that are generally depicted as large, dumb, brutish creatures in folklore. But Dambo’s trolls are adorable, and children can’t have enough of them.
Dambo’s trolls are installed on mountains, in forests, and parks around the world. Sometimes they are tucked away behind trees; at other times, they hide in forests, underneath bridges, or up on hillsides.
Interestingly, Dambo’s sculptures are usually a group effort. He asks local volunteers for help, and together they assemble the sculptures. Each folklore-inspired sculpture is brought to life from wood pallets, old fences, twigs, debris, and even sheds.
Each of Dambo’s giants has a name – from “Little Tilde,” who hides behind a big tree to “Oscar Under the Bridge,” who holds onto the bridge’s rail to “Thomas on the Mountain,” who sits on a hiking trail stacking rocks, and “Teddy Friendly,” who helps people across a tiny stream with his long extended arms.
