Says Cutrone about her artistic practice: "Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone wants to tell it. And everyone loves a story told well; everyone wants to hear it. Everyone wants to know and be known. Artists are no different. They have just chosen to tell the story in a slightly different way. Art is, I think, always both a story and a mirror. Maybe they are one and the same. At its best, at its truest, it lets you see yourself, your world through someone else's story, which may very well be what you were seeing and saying already. It's like the lover who loves you back; who returns you to yourself in a slightly altered light. The artist's job, therefore, is really quite simple. To be both a storyteller and a mirror. He or she only has to do both things well - to have something true to say, no matter how small, and to say it wonderfully. To give us back to ourselves. It's a life-long assignment."
