Artist Creates Wooden Giants And Hides Them In The Wilderness

Over the last three years, Danish artist Thomas Dambo has been creating enormous sculptures from recycled materials. Most recently, he sprinkled six of his friendly giants around Copenhagen as a way to encourage people to visit the offbeat areas of his hometown.

Artist Thomas Dambo used 600 pallets and other scavenged wood to install 6 giant wood sculptures in hidden spots around Copenhagen. "I've made all the sculptures from recycled wood. Mainly from 600 old pallets, an old wooden shed, a fence, and whatever else I was able to scavenge. Every sculpture was made with help from local volunteers, and each of the sculptures was named after one of the volunteers.
