Freya Gabie studied sculpture at Chelsea College of Art and the Royal College of Art.

Her practice is site responsive: focusing on connection and exchange. She works across media, seeking to disrupt the intimate and unconscious interchange between people and place.

​

Her work is concerned with drawing out social narratives manifest within objects, artifacts, songs and stories found in specific contexts. It seeks to reveal the ways these histories are expressed; how they re-tell the past, or express a version of the present, framing personal and cultural identity.

She regularly works collaboratively with a wide spectrum of individuals and communities both in the UK and abroad. Previous projects include working with an Opera singer to stage a live performance in central London from a coal-hole, a group of miners in the North of England, an entire community in Tower Hamlets, London; forming a continuous day-long A-Capella performance from dawn to dusk; a ‘swansong’ to a medieval garden condemned for demolition and redevelopment. She collaborated with UK financial traders and traditional Lancashire clog dancers to create a clog dance interpreting the financial trading data of BREXIT.
