Although this is a pure abstract form with undulating surfaces and edges, I feel the image is reminiscent of a figurative torso. It could be viewed as male, with broad shoulders, or female, with slim waist and curvy hips. That's the beauty of abstract art!
I've carved it from petacchi marble, a variety of white marble from the famous mountains above Carrara, Italy, and left the surface of the sculpture a smooth matte finish, so the marble can hold shadows successfully. This is important for the viewer's eye to appreciate the form and entice one to touch this sculpture and is in contrast to the highly polished base.
Usually, I contrast the subject with a different coloured base, but I am pleased with the monochromatic look of this piece.

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."
