COLLECT INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2026
CONVERSATIONS IN SILVER AND METAL
FIVE is a platform celebrating contemporary silver and metal, fostering new dialogues about our material & craft.
For Collect 2026, FIVE will be represented by five UK based women working in contemporary metal: Angela Cork, Jessica Jue, Ane Christensen, Anna Lorenz and Kathryn Hinton. Each artist brings a distinct approach to form and making, with this year marking the first presentation of Anna Lorenz and Kathryn Hinton within the collective.
New work from all five makers will respond to the 2026 theme, Scale, explored through both large and small works to examine how shifts in proportion affect form, surface and the viewer’s relationship to an object. To mark five years of FIVE at Collect, the collective will also present a collaborative anniversary project with Goldsmiths’ Fair, bringing together past and present members through a shared installation of miniature works.
27 February - 1 March 2026

FIVE ETHOS
As well as representing this group of makers, the number 'Five' is an important part of a wider strategic plan by the group to give an international platform over time to an ever evolving group of makers and provoke dynamic visual conversations about contemporary metal. To create new opportunities for makers, encourage ambitious new work and develop a wider interest in our craft and inspire the next generation.
FIVE ARTISTS
FIVE consists of UK based silversmiths Angela Cork, Jessica Jue, Ane Christensen, Kathryn Hinton and Anna Lorenz. We are a diverse mix of exciting makers representing a cross section of generations and backgrounds and yet many things unite us.
We are silversmiths with a shared ethos evolving around precision and fine craftsmanship, who apply contemporary ideas to traditional materials and techniques and challenge the preconceptions and expectations of tradition, value, and the use of silver.
Craftsmanship
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
CHALLENGING SCALE AND FUNCTION
Themes run through our work around our interaction with environment and we will work with light and surface to create a strong and dramatic setting, using reflection, shadow, and illusion throughout the display. Our aim is to showcase the work as it is intended to be viewed and allow visitors to imagine new possibilities for use and presentation.
