Freya Gabie

Freya studied sculpture at Chelsea College of Art and the Royal College of Art. Her practice is site responsive: focusing on connection and exchange, making objects, drawings and interventions that respond to particular histories, stories and places, peeling under the surface to expose hidden layers.

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 acapella 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.
