Three new trolls make their debut across Rhode Island

(WJAR) — Last year, artist Thomas Dambo brought two large troll sculptures made of recycled materials to Ninigret Park in Charlestown.

The popularity of these trolls inspired the artist to bring three more to the Ocean State, which troll sculptures springing up in North Kingstown, East Providence, and Exeter.

Volunteers put together the three troll sculptures, with unveiling ceremonies taking place throughout the day Sunday.

The North Kingstown sculpture, known as “Iver Mudslider”, is located at Ryan Park.

“Young Boulder” resides at Acadia Management Area on the Exeter/Richmond line.

The East Providence sculpture, called “Mrs. Skipper” resides just off the East Bay Bike Path near the Kettle Point development.

“I am super happy to be back in Rhode Island and to add three more sculptures to my Thunderstone saga. All three locations are absolutely amazing, with stunning nature and beautiful wonders, so it is a real pleasure to be back to expand the exhibition,” Dambo said in a statement.

The two trolls at Ninigret Park, called “Greta Granite” and “Erik Rock”, have drawn big crowds since they first debuted in 2024.

Dambo has created over 100 of these sculptures around the world.
