From Scrap to Living Art<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

My name is Yair Dor, and I'm a metal artist. I take machine parts, bolts, springs, chains and scrap that nobody needs anymore \u2014 and build sculptures from them that get a new life.<\/p>

My work explores the meeting point of form, material and texture, in a constant dialogue between the abstract and the tangible.<\/p>

Over the years I have exhibited my works in many exhibitions in the United States and at other art venues. Each piece carries a unique story, a soul and a personal view of the world, and invites the viewer to take part in the visual experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
