A Quarter and Five on the Horns

A-Quarter-and-Five-on-the-Horns-lo

A quarter and five on the horns means twenty five years and five additional years of deprivation of civil rights. In keeping track of the time until one got out of the labor camps, a simple mark scrawled on the wall meant one day closer to freedom. This installation piece shows almost one year of that time.

A Quarter and Five on the Horns is roughly 1.5" x 2" each. Acrylic on stained wood.
