Recycle artist creates giant trolls with environmental messages
- Published
Meet Bo! They are part of The Trolls that Hatched an Egg installation found in Ohio, US. Creator, Thomas Dambo has given each troll a story which visitors discover as they wander the nature centre.
Here is Little Bibbi looking like they're about to take off and fly away! Little Bibbi is really curious about what is outside the forest and after discovering an egg, they go on an adventure.
Look at Little Bibbi ready to take flight! It might not seem like it, but these trolls are huge and stand at about 5 or 6 metres tall which roughly about the same size as a giraffe!
Røskva was part of the Guardians of the Seeds project in Maine, US. These trolls were placed in the Botanical Gardens for people to enjoy on their visit earlier this year.
Artist Dambo makes these sculptures which are then hidden in the wilderness all across the world. He started making them when he realised he could recycle wooden trash whenever he was in the world and use it to make something amazing.
Frode is this name of this giant troll, who is also part of the Guardian of the Seeds installation.
Through these trolls Dambo wants people to realise you can create beautiful things from rubbish and hopefully everyone will think twice before throwing things away.
