Based in St Ives, Frears works across film and video, text works, printmaking, and painting. Her practice explores ambiguous gestures and forms of everyday choreography with poise and humour, alongside visual material drawn from cinema, old fashion and interiors magazines, and landscaped environments.
Nominated twice for the Film London Jarman Award, her work is in various public collections including the Government Art Collection and the Edinburgh Film Library.
Solo shows and film commissions include Night After Night, Kestle Barton, The Work (a film about artist Ben Sanderson) and solo show, The Days of The Future Stand Before Us, Harbour House Gallery, Kingsbridge, Devon. Men Falling (Artist Moving Image Commission, Exeter Phoenix) and In Other Words, a film commission for RAMM (Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter). She collaborated on Sound Solid Liquid Light (Two Queens Leicester) with Stuart Blackmore, Leila Galloway, and Alice Mahoney.
She is currently showing Cars and Girls (from a performance for 40 cars with DJ Luke Vibert made for Groundwork, an international art project in Cornwall) in DRIVE, a group show at Papple Steading near Edinburgh. She has taken part in several group shows, including Forced Collaboration (Georgia Gendall) and Second Hand (curated by Liam Jolly) at Auction House.
