Katanning is a small country town located 277 kilometres south-east of Perth in Western Australia and can be found on the Great Southern Highway.
Working in collaboration with FORM and the PUBLIC Silo Trail in Western Australia, artists Mel McVee, Brenton See, Chris Nixon and Darren Hutchens, plus Karim Jabbari from Tunisia descended on the Wheatbelt town of Katanning in November 2017.
Their mission: to transform Western Power electrical transformer boxes at the four Katanning schools, and paint large scale murals on walls throughout town.
Seven days, five murals and seven transformer boxes later, plus a series of youth workshops, the job was done. The colour and variety of the styles show how even the humblest wall or object can be transformed by art.
