Giant trolls have a message for humans about protecting the planet

Danish artist Thomas Dambo creates giant wooden trolls from recycled materials to promote environmental awareness. Over 12 years, Dambo and his team have built 170 trolls in more than 20 countries and 21 U.S. states. These sculptures, some up to 40 feet tall, are made from discarded items like wooden pallets and old furniture. An installation of six trolls, called "Trolls Save the Humans," is currently on display at Filoli, a historic estate near San Francisco. Dambo says the trolls aim to teach humans how to live sustainably. Dambo said his global project attracts millions of visitors annually, highlighting the value of recycling.

Playing around with home made pigments. It's a fun if a little mysterious process for me since I don't remember my chemistry lessons too well. This painting has walnut, beet, onion, and purple carrot inks. I then used charcoal to accentuate certain areas as I continued to layer the inks. #painting #MastoArt #pigment #EcoArts
They will tell you to put a pack of oil pastels in your starter pack at art college. You wonder why… for me they sat unloved except for some experimenting with life drawing and white spirits. Fast forward 20 years (yeah 20 years!) and I brought them on holidays. I hated them, liked them a bit better… then here.. I started to fall in love with my old cheap pack of oil pastels.
Was an #EcoArts effort to #UseItUp but in the end became a love affair. #MastoArt #IrishArt #Drimolegue #MastoDaoine
