One maker’s entanglements with the slings and arrows of viral success.
By most metrics, Corrina Goutos can be considered among the more successful contemporary jewellery artists of today. She is widely accredited, incredibly productive, and sells consistently, in no small part due to the pervasive online representation of her artistic practice, which she refers to as ‘Anthrosmithing’. A hybrid of found objects and personal tech devices combined with traditional piercing hardware, her work artfully covers a spectrum from large scale installation pieces to ultra-hip accessories worn by pop stars. Fresh, contemporary, and imminently accessible to a wide range of palettes, her pierced shell pieces are both delightfully wearable, and instantly recognizable.
