A giant troll has emerged from the banks of R Park’s pond, to engage and delight all who visit. The troll – officially named “Mama Mimi” – was built by the artist Thomas Dambo, produced by Jackson Hole Public Art and hosted at Jackson Hole Land Trust’s community conservation property, R Park. This project has been years in the making and the organizations look forward to welcoming the community to visit this magical sculpture safely and with respect for the land. Check out our joint “Troll Like a Local” campaign!
Thomas Dambo, a Danish artist and recycling activist, led a team of workers to build “Mama Mimi” from recycled and renewable materials that were sourced locally. “Mama Mimi” is the eightieth addition to the larger family of trolls located all over the United States and the world; learn how the trolls are all connected to Dambo’s global fairytale, “The Great Story of the Little People”, at trollmap.com.
