Catalyst: The Nexus of Transformation
Shows the impact electrification has had on our daily lives beginning with the US Rural Electrification Act and moving into the future. Each "age" displays a snapshot of how our lives have changed and premiere technologies available. This mural is one in a series commissioned by Associated Electric Cooperative to breathe life into six meeting rooms on a newly remodeled floor of their HQ.
The vision was for each individual mural to follow a theme that would inspire employees by interweaving historic figures and objects with pop culture elements and even references to AECI itself.
