Corrina Goutos is an artist working in jewelry, objects and installation. Having coined the term 'Anthrosmithing' to describe her neo-material practice – Corrina renounces the notion of a ‚raw material‘ and considers that when a craftsperson imprints themselves on a material, they are but one of many agents constantly reshaping it. Corrina Goutos‘ future artifacts tell a story of mankind from achievements to decadence. Precise pre-industrial handicraft is applied to the most superfluous of mass-produced objects with the same intention given to a rare resource of Earth.
