Mama Mimi

| interactive art by Thomas Dambo Rendezvous Park Wilson, Wyoming 2021 |
I have not see this amazing work of art and “borrowed” the photos from social media. The sculpture was made from recycled pallets, and driftwood.
The artist is from Copenhagen and has created wooden trolls around the world. This sculpture is his 80th troll creation and is named, Mama Mimi. Her face and feet were constructed in Dambo's Denmark studio and her hair is made entirely of driftwood roots Dambo and his crew found washed up on the banks of the Snake River. Instantly charmed by the gnarled wood, Dambo said it gives Mimi a bit of an ’80s vibe. ~ jhnewsguide.com

The sculpture serves as a bridge to a small island and will captive visitors to the park for several years.
A trip to northwestern Wyoming should definitely include a stop at Rendezvous Park to see Mama Mimi in person.
What an interesting sculpture - love the hair!! I would really enjoy seeing this in person.

I had just seen a photo of another one of his trolls - so amazing! That has to be a thrill to be hiking and come upon something like this. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteHow ambitious a work of art this is--(considering it will be walked on !) but what a delight to see it and know it is here and not in Denmark!
