4heads returns! With a strong focus on artistic excellence and inclusion, 4heads revitalizes historic spaces with contemporary art, continuing to enrich and expand their creative community: a socially, economically, and culturally diverse reflection of New York City itself. From 2008 to 2019, it produced Portal: Governors Island (formerly known as Governors Island Art Fair). Touted as New York’s largest independent exhibition, Portal: GI welcomed over 40,000 visitors annually in New York Harbor.

Through Rockaway Artists Alliance, 4heads has been granted another unique and historical space to exhibit this year, which will include an installation of my All Paint series.

"In the Fold" is an exploration of transformation, reclamation, and layered complexity, as expressed through the distinct works of Carin Kulb Dangot, Jenna Horton, and Emily Rose. This exhibition brings together three artists who challenge traditional boundaries—whether of materials, identity, or societal expectations—by folding in new possibilities through their creative processes.

The title speaks to the way each artist manipulates both physical materials and conceptual narratives. Through the act of folding, twisting, layering, and reimagining, they transform the ordinary into something extraordinary, making space for the unseen and unspoken to emerge. Whether it’s Jenna Horton’s reclamation of discarded objects, Emily Rose’s multi-layered expression of feminine identity, or Carin Kulb Dangot’s manipulation of excess paint and plexiglass, each artist invites the viewer to look deeper into the folds of their work.

By repurposing and reclaiming what is often overlooked—be it materials or identity—these artists fold together new narratives that transcend the limitations of the past. The exhibition is not only a celebration of creativity but a powerful statement on the agency to redefine and reshape our world, artfully navigating the intersections between material and meaning.

Carin Kulb Dangot rethinks the boundaries of traditional art-making by transforming industrial remnants and excess paint into dynamic, three-dimensional works. Her Cloud and All Paint series push the limits of material use, celebrating abundance, experimentation, and the interplay of light and form. Carin’s work encourages viewers to see beauty in what is often discarded, inviting reflection on sustainability and the aesthetic potential of overlooked materials. Through her innovative processes, Carin creates art that is both visually captivating and conceptually rich.

Jenna Horton’s work reclaims and transforms discarded materials into intricate assemblages, challenging traditional notions of waste and value. Drawing on her experiences growing up in a gendered environment that restricted her access to certain tools and activities, Jenna’s art represents a reclamation of autonomy and agency. Her practice explores the tension between societal limitations and creative freedom, using found objects to craft complex, layered works that invite viewers to reconsider the meaning and potential of what we often overlook or discard.

Emily Rose’s art critically engages with how femininity is portrayed and consumed in modern culture, confronting the influence of "The Gaze" on women’s identities. Through photography, collage, and film, Emily explores the often unseen or commodified aspects of womanhood, reclaiming power and control over how women are viewed. Her work delves into the complexities of feminine beauty, pleasure, and power, offering a layered, deeply personal narrative that challenges societal expectations while celebrating the fullness of feminine experience.

Meditative Paintings is a solo exhibition of seven large non-objective works by Carin Kulb Dangot inspired by a mediation breakthrough experienced after ‘seeing’ a fissure of light particles. Like the process of ascending during meditation whilst in flow, she composes her paintings to have distinct layers relating to significant brain states during mediation: beta, alpha, delta, and theta. Dangot starts with a color background without forethought of what the painting will inevitably look like. Hours later into painting, surroundings dissipate, the background begins to melt, and dilute under the new layers. Dangot feels through the painting. White amorphous cells, refined energy centers are added. These cells self-compose and find natural order. When the background integrates with the foreground, the painting becomes more expansive, a point of departure as if to suggest there is more beyond the perimeters of the canvas.
