While artist Tal Avitzur was visiting salvage yards in search of materials to refurbish a fixer-upper home he purchased 20 years ago, he was amazed at the treasures he found there. So he began collecting objects that other people thought of as trash, and from that collection these sculptures were born.

Tal Avitzur found his passion for creating while in college and working for sculptor George Rickey and ceramicist Beatrice Wood. From his workshop full of thousands of parts amassed over many years of collecting, Tal creates fantasy-themed sculptures. He is heavily influenced by the science fiction, mythology and comic books from his youth. Each sculpture begins by finding the personality in an object, then test fitting different combinations of pieces together, and cutting, drilling and grinding until reaching a natural-looking fit.
