The material language of industry is used in order to critique it, using coal, metal, concrete, stone and varnish. It Witnesses the working-classes skill of making the best of a bad situation by the beautification of the mundane objects such as pebbles, coal or cement rabbits with varnish.
The rabbits are a recurring icon throughout Georgia’s practice, representing working class families and the adversity they face from the ruling land-owners. Highlighting the on going demonziation of the working classes.
