What if in ten years Texas is the only state left standing? Who would survive...
This is work I did for my residency at Diverse Works for their Real Art World series. It is based on the idea that if some cataclysmic event were to take out most of the United States, save for Texas, how many residents of the now gone states would survive and be able to migrate to Texas? Each state is represented by its State Animal or Bird, or when there were overlaps I would use another State Animal, like the State Reptile, etc. The numbers were collected via a month of driving and recording which license plates I saw and how many. I made the highest number 50 for Texas. The states are listed in order of statehood.
