‘Trollmaker’ Thomas Dambo Gives a Tour of His Studio
Thomas Dambo, the talented artist behind giant wooden trolls that magically interact with their natural woodland surroundings worldwide, took the filmmakers from Exploredinary on a tour of Rancho Dambo, his studio on an old farm outside Copenhagen, Denmark, where he and his crew build his lovable giants from recycled materials.
So this is my farm. It's a 200 years old farm or something like that. It has 55 acres. Everything on the farm is made of trash, with trash, or leftovers, scraps, and that's what my art is about is to show the world that we can build big, beautiful things that can make people come together and can teach us not to drown in our trash, but to learn to love it so it can become a solution rather than a problem.
Exploredinary also accompanied Dambo to a forest outside Charlotte, North Carolina, for the build of Big Pete", a sensitive soul who reclines in the forest because he worries his big feet will crush the flowers he loves.
