On a visit to Los Angeles, Odense-born Danish recycle artist THOMAS DAMBO explains his personal mission, "waste no more." He describes his early public projects inspired by waste left at music festivals, his Copenhagen Happy Wall commission at Kongens Nytorv, and the origins of his iconic and popular Trolls series. Always large-scale and community-driven, Thomas's message is consistent, that we share our trash and share the knowledge of our trash.

For today's episode, Thomas Dambo chose Adam Dircksz's Miniature-altertavle. Triptykon med kristi passion, or Miniature Altar. Triptych with the Passion of Christ, from 1502–1528 from the collection of the National Gallery of Denmark.
