Welcome to the visual archive of Santa Barbara artist Tal Avitzur. This photo gallery offers a glimpse into both the assemblage sculpture workshop and the home gallery. Here, discarded components salvaged from Southern California auto, marine, and aircraft yards are given a second life. Explore the transition from raw, industrial junk into finished, retro-futuristic sci-fi art styled in a modern home environment.
