B. 1974, Pennsylvania, United States

Suzanna Scott is an artist whose work explores feminist themes and visual ideas in and of the body. Her viralCoin Cunt series of inverted change purses, stitched to resemble vulvae, portrays the endless cultural associations between women, money, and power. At the same time this collection serves as a timely symbol of empowerment and equality for all women.

Entering her third decade as an artist, Scott works with a range of materials, including stone, wax, fiber, paper, resin and the occasional found object. Her work has been widely exhibited in the United States and can be found in private collections worldwide. Scott currently lives and works in Ruston, Louisiana.

Coin Cunt Statement

In our new reality of untruths and the resurgence 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 vulvae. By exposing the mysterious interior of a ubiquitous object I find each Coin Cunt is distinct just as every human is unique. A tease to the imagination, these transposed change purses challenge our visual and cultural associations of women, money and power. In light of the #MeToo movement the Coin Cunts give voice to many causes around the globe such as sexual exploitation, domestic violence, female genital mutilation, suppression of women, unnatural body image ideals, the rise of labiaplasty, reproductive justice and the list continues to grow.
