Not For Sale
This sculpture was inspired by some of the abstract sculptures by my friend, sculptor Cynthia Sah, based in Seravezza, Italy. Cynthia and her husband, sculptor Nicolas Bertoux have a beautiful studio and gallery, ARTCO where I rented space to work during Sept. and Oct. 2018. Both artists work strictly in abstract forms and all are very organic, undulating and beautiful.
My composition is like a breaking ocean wave, rising and curling over. All surfaces are smoothly curved and askew. I’ve carved opposing surfaces that are concave and which almost break through, but I’ve left enough material to exploit the marble’s translucent ability. Finally, I’ve created the illusion that I’ve tried to poke a sharp pin through the centre of the sculpture, with a deep hole on one side and a pointy protrusion opposite.

Binkley is best known for his original stone sculpture in a wide range of idiom, medium and scale. He strives to create artwork that entices the viewer to touch.
"I had my epiphany at the age of 20 to turn my artistic path to stone sculpture while in Florence, Italy after I witnessed first hand the unfinished works of Michelanglo. My first love is the human form, but I also enjoy creating abstracts and wildlife iimages."
