Rock and a Hard Place - Jenny Reddin

Jenny Reddin is a Melbourne-based artist and sculptor known for her innovative exploration of the intersection between natural and human-made forms. Her works often focus on structure and architecture, using materials like nmetal sheets and bars to evoke organic and human forms that engage with their environment. A key theme in her art is the tension between balance and instability, as seen in her use of gravity-defying cube elements that appear to float or tumble.

Jenny's sculptures also include plasma-cut life-sized figures, capturing snapshots of real people, often depicting family groups or individuals interacting with pets. Her ability to imbue her pieces with a sense of personality, mood, and purpose makes her work highly relatable while prompting viewers to reflect on broader societal and environmental themes.

Her work is exhibited internationally, with pieces held in collections across Asia, America, and Australia. One of her recent pieces, High Jinks, is a finalist in the Interior Small Sculpture Exhibition at YAVA Gallery in Healesville, and she plans to expand this work into a full-sized sculpture for outdoor spaces.
