In this series, Scott considers the Black penis as a culturally charged symbol, pointing out the danger and absurdity of reducing a person to a set of body parts. The artist depicted the loving relationship of an interracial couple on a park bench as imagine through the eyes of a prejudiced passerby: a white porcelain woman embracing oversized Black genitalia. Elsewhere, a disembodied penis fuels the private fantasies of a white woman who fetishizes the person she cannot openly pursue. The title of these works and their incorporation of exquisitely beaded soft sculptures calls viewers in with tenderness, affection, and care for the fully dimensional humanity of Black men. At the same time, Scott agitates against the reductive obsession with and demonization of Black male sexuality, used for centuries to justify campaigns of racial terror and criminalization. C.
