Danish recycling artist Thomas Dambo builds trolls. Not the kind that want to start an internet argument, but the classic forest trolls from folklore, in very large sizes. And he makes them out of recycled trash! Dambo has used tons of discarded material, the things we toss out without thinking of the environmental impact, to install projects in 20 countries. He also holds classes and workshops to teach others how to make art out of the things the modern world disposes of. The result is a friend in the forest to lure you out into nature. Check out Dambo's projects in Austin, Chicago, and several locations in Washington State, like Vashon Island, Issaquah, and Bainbridge Island. You'll find more on his trollmap and at Instagram. -via Metafilter
