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. Our new work for Collect 2022 will introduce a range of other metals and materials to our work, allowing us to be ambitious with scale and function and intend to shift the expectation of tableware to the abstract and include more experimental work, to create a dynamic visual conversation and show how engaging and contemporary silver can be.

We will curate an exhibition of functional and conceptual metalwork through a range of tabletop pieces and wall mounted abstract objects. Silver is the core material of the group and the process and craftsmanship of silversmithing is inherent, but we as makers in metal are uninhibited by the ‘preciousness’ of material and the connotations that revolve around it and will create bodies of work that stretch our practices, challenge preconceptions and encourage a wider conversation.

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.
