Environmental Artist   Throughout his career, Mr. Washington has maintained an artistic eye focused on the environment.  While enduring a period of adversity, including homelessness.  Mr. Washington remained filled with the desire to be creative and to document his experience.  Using the remnants of the clothing his family wore, he created “The Blanket”; a sculpture that serves as a testimony and a monument to the hundreds of thousands of homeless people across the nation, trapped in the vice of man’s alienation from man. This time period marked a cornerstone in his life that solidified Mr. Washington’s environmentally artistic mentality.  Artwork created by Charles Washington is a testament to the beauty that surrounds us.  It helps us see what we can create from recycled material, while making us aware of our responsibility to protect our environment.  His artwork reminds us that it is important for all of us to be good stewards of our planet.
