Have you ever gone exploring in the woods and come across giant wooden sculptures that appear out of nowhere really, but still manage to draw you in closer?
Each of them perhaps has his own story to narrate, and while one tumbles into the world of stories and tales, one also walks back home with an important lesson - recycling is the only way to sustain and move forward!
Thirty seven year old, Copenhagen resident, Thomas Dambo is an artist and sculptor renowned for creating iconic art through the use of recycled materials. Talking to Home Review about his latest installation, “The Six Forgotten Giants” which is set in the woods of Copenhagen city, Dambo gives us a glimpse into his art, and thought process.“I believe we need to take care of our planet. Recycling is a big part of this process. And now it is my life’s mission to involve others in this endeavour.” Dambo is of the opinion that discarding things without understanding their value is criminal. And we couldn’t agree more. “I make big, positive and interactive projects to show people that recycling can be much more than just trash.”
“I start with the location,” Dambo remarks when asked about his process of creation. “That and the materials inspire me. If I find a lot of dark brown wood, I make a sculpture with dark brown fur. A bunch of twigs is converted to hair.” Hidden in Rødovre, Hvidovre, Vallensbæk, Ishøj, Albertslund and Høje Taastrup, the giants, who are essentially siblings, are part of a treasure hunt to get people to become more involved with nature and take note of their surroundings.
