Suzanna Scott "Coin Cunts Set Of 17"

North American artist, Suzanna Scott, simultaneously seduces and repulses the viewer through her excessive use of sutured stitching, skin-like surfaces, witty references to various body parts, and shades of the color pink. She gravitates towards sculpting in multiples using everyday materials and discarded objects.

By embracing repetition as a tool throughout her work, Scott emphasizes the ever/never evolving social struggles we face at the intersection of existence within our body and society. She uses her work to step into and examine the sticky landscape surrounding gender, sexuality, equality, and bodily autonomy.

Scott’s work has been exhibited across the United States and internationally in Chile, Malta, Spain, Russia, Germany, France and Mexico. She lives in Ruston, Louisiana where she rage-stitches daily in her garage studio.

“COIN CUNTS” In our reality of untruths and the political validation of misogynistic and racist undercurrents in the United States, the Coin Cunts stand as a visual symbol of empowerment and equality for all people with a vulva. By exposing the mysterious interior of a ubiquitous object, we find each Coin Cunt is distinct just as every human is unique. A tease to the imagination, these transposed coin purses challenge our visual, political and cultural associations of gender, money, and power. Since their inception, the Coin Cunts have given voice to and raised awareness for many causes around the globe such as reproductive rights, sexual exploitation, bodily autonomy, FGM (female genital mutilation), racial disparities in reproductive health, and the list continues to grow.” - Suzanna Scott
