For PROOF OF WORK at Gertrude Glasshouse Andrew Liversidge has produced five objects for display. 

Five metal cubes. 

The cubes appear more or less the same with the only difference being an incremental shift in scale. 

The cubes were produced by melting Australian one dollar coins into a molten liquid that is then cast into cube–shaped moulds. One thousand dollar coins were melted to produce the first cube. Two thousand dollar coins were melted to produce the second. Three thousand for the third, four thousand for the forth and five thousand for the fifth. The resulting cubes range in dimension from 11.4 cm3 to 19.4 cm3. All of them are somewhere between bronze and dirty gold in colour and the flat, geometric surfaces are stippled with various imperfections. 

The cubes are presented in a straight line, in the middle of the gallery floor. They are titled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively.

Supported by a City of Yarra Small Project Grant.
