The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key body of work in Charles Goldman's career in the 2010s: his sculpture and installations referencing the depletion of natural resources and employing green building materials, in particular, RE>CRETE>, a material he developed that is made from pulped newspapers and junk mail, shredded CDs, DVDs and credit cards, cut-up home electronic wires, dryer lint, and ground-up packing foam. The material is an open source project that can be packaged as architectural modules or dry-mix bags, and is included in the worldwide Material ConneXion libraries. Goldman has often used the material in the form of geometric units or building blocks that form larger sculptural and installation works. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this later stage and body of work, for which Goldman has received recognition through exhibitions and coverage by major critics and publications. Charles Goldman's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
