Meredith and I headed to Breckinridge for a late mother's day get together and I finally made it to see the troll. They moved it to a new location and I wish it was more difficult to get to so it wouldn't be so crowded. We hiked and had lunch too on the way home. We also stopped by a great nursery outside of Breck that had lots of choices of plants and flowers that grow at altitude.
Dambo is an artist and climate activist based in Denmark who carries the
title of the world’s most prominent “recycle artist.” He is best known
for his colossal troll sculptures that range in height from 16 to 50
feet and ‘live’ as permanent or semi-permanent installations in parks,
greenspaces, industrial parks, and in other site-specific locations
around the world. Each folklore-inspired sculpture is imbued with
expression and character and is built entirely from scrap materials like
wooden pallets, fallen branches, and twigs sourced from the location of
the installation. Driven by a mission to inspire people to explore our
relationship with the planet, many of Dambo’s works have an associated
folk tale written by Dambo himself that addresses a complex problem of
our world in an approachable, fun way.
