Portland Troll? Ole Bolle Portland's very own Troll!!!

Описание: In Oregon’s Tualatin Valley, a larger-than-life, gentle giant waits to be discovered. Ole Bolle, one of artist Thomas Dambo’s whimsical wooden trolls, invites travelers to step off the beaten path and into a world where art and nature meet.

Ole Bolle is located on the Nordic Northwest Campus in Tualatin Valley. This art installation, one of several hand-built trolls on Dambo’s Northwest Troll: Way of the Bird King, tells a tale of protecting nature and honoring our land, bringing awareness of the human impact on life in our watersheds and animal habitats. The Pacific Northwest trail features six giant hand-built Nordic troll characters, fashioned entirely out of recycled materials.

These art installations turn trash into treasured trolls who tell a tale of protecting nature and honoring our land. This is with a focus on understanding human impact on life in our watersheds and animal habitats. ​The project includes a companion story that will focus on restoration and preservation of riparian habitats in an approachable, fun way. It provides opportunities for youth and adults to learn, support, and make a difference in our environment.

Dambo’s high level of creativity drives the creation of highly interactive experiences, turning recycled materials into immersive, interactive, and awe-inspiring art. Today, he is known internationally for his larger-than-life troll sculptures. With 100 sculptures all over the world, these trolls have begun to have a life of their own, inspiring “troll hunters” to seek them out and fulfill Dambo’s vision of creating art that inspires people to get outside to explore, have adventures, and protect our natural spaces. The Way of the Bird King will be the first Dambo trolls to be placed in the Pacific Northwest, linking this region to the worldwide phenomenon.
