Meet Malin the troll, a free sculpture for all to enjoy at the central Austin park. Malin was made by artist Thomas Dambo over the course of two weeks and opened to the public on Friday, March 15.
Made of 80% recycled materials, Malin’s wood was sourced from Wampler sawmill in Bastrop County, a defunct test tank from J.J. Pickle Research Campus of UT Austin, storm-damaged trees from Kingsbury Hillside, and her feet were made in Denmark.
You can find Malin just north of Kingsbury Commons. She will remain at Pease Park for at least 15 years. When you visit, don’t miss the BEPI Park Mini Troll at 1101 Enfield Rd.
Can’t get enough of these charming trolls? You can peruse Dambo’s Trollmap to explore his other pieces around the globe.
I cannot recommend visiting Malin the troll enough. She is truly beautiful and let’s be honest, so is the rest of the park. Do you have a favorite public art piece in Austin? Let me know so I can check it out.
