Electrical boxes can be sweet spots for stickers and tags, but the Tempe Public Art program and the Tempe Library have a creative idea. They are having local artists create art that will be painted on utility boxes in on Mill, Ash, & College St.

The overarching narrative of Movement is driven by the age-old question, The Chicken or The Egg? Although the egg predates the chicken by a long shot, in this rendition, the chicken and the egg exist in perfect unison. The chicken provides mobility (legs), while the egg provides protection (laser beam eyes), and together they move through the scene with balance and purpose, encountering various characters along the route. These characters capture a few qualities of the community found at Mill Avenue and 4th Street. Generous hands offer flowers, representing abundance and strength. A banana with several eyes; consider him an innocent observer, a perfect stranger or the presence of surveillance. The galactic scene at the end of the road speaks to the unknown potential that Downtown Tempe holds for everyone who walks by while flames embrace the inevitable change brought on by a rapidly growing community.
The project was funded through the City of Tempe Municipal Arts Fund and Downtown Tempe Authority.
