Vic Cutting tells the story behind her Twitter and Facebook profiles:
CREATIVE ACTIVITY IS MORE THAN A MERE CULTURAL FRILL, IT IS A CRUCIAL FACTOR OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE, THE MEANS OF SELF-REVELATION, THE BASIS OF EMPATHY WITH OTHERS; IT INSPIRES BOTH INDIVIDUALISM AND RESPONSIBILITY, THE GIVING AND THE SHARING OF EXPERIENCE
Tom Hudson (1979), British Columbia Exhibition of Children’s Art catalogue.
“I picked up this post card at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park a few years ago, and all I knew about it was that it had “Cardiff College of Art Foundation Studies: Experimentation with materials 1968” written on the back, from the collection of Tom Hudson.
“It was at a time where I was considering retraining as an art therapist and was obsessing about the importance of process art, especially within my work with young people. Tom Hudson’s ideas resonated with me.
“I like it as my Twitter photograph, I like that it is a personal image, and intimate, although that’s the opposite of how I feel about twitter. My Facebook profile is full of photos of my kids and funny (to me) thoughts that I want to share with my friends.
“My Facebook profile photos are consistently oblique, but that’s because work advise us not to have photographs of 
ourselves. So it’s interesting to find photos that have personal meaning but don’t show people. I enjoy taking photos, I find it relaxing, a creative activity, going back to the original quote. I liked finding the shadow of me in the leaves, me – yet not me. A leaf yeti.
“Twitter is more about politics, work and music for me. Maybe I like that the picture is hiding me.
“I useTtwitter as a newspaper, something to pass the time in the sleepless nights, and I don’t think you could find out that much about me from reading my tweets.
“I’m hiding behind the screen with my 140 characters.”
