STONE AS MEDIUM FOR SCULPTURES AND ARTWORKS
Michael Binkley was inspired to a career as a stone sculptor after his epiphany in Florence, Italy in 1980. While viewing the unfinished “Captives” marble sculptures by Michelangelo in the Academia della Belle Arte, Binkley discovered he had the ability to “see” inside rock. This was the pivotal moment when Michael turned his artistic interest to the medium of stone.
