In the Fold is an exploration of transformation, reclamation, and layered complexity, as expressed through the distinct works of Jenna Horton, Emily Rose, and Carin Dangot. 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 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.

Jenna Horton

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

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.

Carin Dangot

Carin 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.
