ART/MONEY
POWER STATION is a work of art and infrastructure. As an act of ‘thinking through making’ art fuels both the production of ideas and action. All proceeds go directly into growing the POWER STATION.
A6 POWER STATION postcard and 2 x ‘POWER STATION’ and ‘I’m a Greenbacker’ badges.
Details from images in progress by Hilary Powell as she works with the sunflowers grown throughout 2023 for ‘Sundance’ creating chlorophyll prints in midsummer on the sunflower leaves and gathering the sunflowers in November 2023 to create ‘oil on canvas’ and paper prints from each individual plant. 5 x A6 postcards on recycled uncoated card.
As a thank you to long term POWER STATION members we sent out a package including a set of 5 x ‘Ancient Sunlight’ artwork postcards, a riso print ‘Bread and Roses’ poster, a 2 sided information letter on POWER STATION’s work in 2023 and plans for 2024 with a foil blocked POWER STATION membership card and an LP from Dan Edelstyn’s Orchestra of Cardboard (who will also be working on the POWER STATION film soundtrack). There a limited number of these one off packages available to buy.
As we sang ‘Bread and Roses’ with the community in winter 2023 Hilary also designed and made a riso print poster to go with our singing. Ltd edition 2 colour riso print.
In Nov/Dec 2023 we slept on our rooftop for 23 nights to raise the money via a crowdfunder for phase 1 of the solar POWER STATION. We have a limited number of the set of postcards of rooftop photographs taken by Peter Searle, Sipke Visser, Leonie Rousham, Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn we made as a reward available for sale here.

THE GREENBACKS
The GreenBacks fuel the building of the POWER STATION and community wealth. They were made in a street facing substation site training and employing a team of local people in techniques of riso, foil blocking and screenprint. Higher denomination notes also feature UV invisible layers and AR.
More about the ‘Green Backs’ here.
We are sadly only able to offer framing within the UK. For overseas orders the recipient will be liable for any local taxes / import duties - though we hope that shipping the sets unframed will largely avoid these.
BECOME A GREENBACKER
We’re in production on customised GreenBacks where individuals, families, groups or businesses, as green backers of the POWER STATION, receive and feature on their own Greenback banknote artwork.
These are made as £3000 and £5000 notes.
They are bigger than the Greenbacks at 420mm x 185mm.
Get in touch to find out more.
Mock up £3000 Greenback banknote/artwork.
As part of our ongoing work with sunflowers Hilary was happy to work with jeweller Issy White to commission an exclusive sunflower seed pendant made from a seed from one of the 1000s of sunflowers grown for our ‘Sundance’ cast in silver, engraved and oxidised. We are keen to continue this collaboration and offer a ltd edition of cast sunflower seeds in bronze.
