"Thomas Dambo's Giant Troll Sculptures: Whimsical Messages on Waste in Seattle's Woods"

Danish artist Thomas Dambo has completed another giant troll sculpture, named "Jakob 2 Trees," in Issaquah, Washington. This is part of The Way of the Bird King project, which aims to bring six giant trolls to the Pacific Northwest. The trolls are inspired by Scandinavian fairytales and are constructed using recycled and found materials. The sculptures blend art and nature, and the latest troll in Issaquah has connections to the native Coast Salish people. Visitors can find the troll by parking near the Issaquah Community Center and following the Rainier Trail.

Construction of a 19-foot-tall troll sculpture named Olebolle was completed at the Nordic Northwest campus in Southwest Portland. Created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo, the troll is part of a six-sculpture exhibition called "Northwest Trolls: Way of the Bird King" and is made from 99% recycled and reclaimed wood. The public can visit the troll starting Sunday, Aug. 13, and it will be on site for at least three years.
