US FUTURE STATES PAINTINGS
Each US Future States Atlas works on paper includes a painting passage of the a lands that is to become a new state. Typically, these are based on the most beautiful representation of the lands I could find: representing elevations, population density, forestations, or something similar. In the US Future States Paintings, I enlarge the passages, with the aspiration of making them exquisite, the lands of our desire. Below are some of them.
