Recycling is the way of the future, no doubt about it. But with so many things being used and thrown away, there aren't enough ways to properly and safely dispose of certain materials. Unless, of course, you're an artist! Artists have been using recycled materials and even trash to create monumental sculptures, exciting installations, and poignant paintings, all designed to show us the importance of reusing, recycling, and conserving.
One such recycling artist is Thomas Dambo, who lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. Using recycled wood and garbage, Dambo travels the world creating these towering trolls, mischievous yet gentle-hearted creatures caught in the throes of some fun adventure. This artist's message is very simple and clear: Recycle, innovate, and just have fun with it! Let's travel the world and be inspired by Thomas's trouble-making trolls.
If you enjoyed these wooden forest-dwellers, be sure to share them with your friends and family!
