Captivity Captive – Jenny Reddin
A sculpture that asks: Are we held or restrained?
Suspended between freedom and protection, a weathered boulder floats within a precise stainless steel frame. Raw and organic, the stone represents our authentic selves—while the steel structure reflects the systems that support, define, and sometimes confine us.
Inspired by Rodney Hall’s 1992 novel Captivity Captive, this work explores the tension between autonomy and security. It asks: Are the frameworks we live within cages—or cradles? Does freedom lie in breaking away, or in finding peace within structure?
Set in the open landscape at Hanging Rock Winery, Captivity Captive invites quiet reflection on how the very systems that seem to limit us might also allow us to grow.
