ABOUT

Christina Holmes views photography as a fundamental act of power: capturing a subject in a second and holding its truth for a lifetime. Raised on a Michigan farm, educated in Pittsburgh before fully engaging with New York City, which proved a decisive, disruptive force. After years spent as an assistant—laboring for established figures in editorial and high-end fashion—she transitioned to directing her own visual stories. Today, she spearheads global campaigns, crafting narratives rich in genuine feeling and deep personal connection. Her approach is rigorous reportage, grounded in authentic human experience. Her work is continuously informed by her background, specifically referencing the core rituals of food and the dynamic spectacle of culture and Fashion.

David Andrew, with over a decade of experience cultivating intentional spaces for music enthusiasts, has built a reputation for transforming sound into experience. His work lives at the intersection of culture, design, and hi-fidelity listening—where storytelling is felt as much as it is heard. As the founder of Ode to Vinyl, David created more than a platform; he sparked a call for sound tangibility in an increasingly intangible world. Through immersive listening environments and meticulously curated soundscapes, he has partnered with brands such as Ralph Lauren, Todd Snyder, Best Made, J.Crew, JBL, and Sennheiser—seamlessly blending style, technology, and sonic identity to craft cohesive cultural narratives that resonate with both seasoned audiophiles and the casually Curious.

This collaborative project, Searching For Sound - SFS, created by Christina with David, extends that ethos into documentary storytelling—illuminating the often-overlooked ritual of the sound curator and DJ: the physical pursuit of music. By spotlighting essential vinyl shops and the communities that sustain them, the series honors the sacred act of digging for records and preserves the spaces that shape musical discovery from novice to expert.

The work exists in deliberate tension with how most photography is consumed today. Instagram rewards the instant glance via the scroll, the double-tap, and the move on. Images are stripped of weight and context, optimized for the two seconds between what came before and what comes next. But a record shop doesn't reveal itself in two seconds. Neither does a portrait of someone holding a sleeve they've hunted for years. This work demands something closer to the act it documents: patience, lingering, a willingness to slow down and let the frame breathe. The tactile reality of vinyl: the heft of a 12", the wear on a sleeve, the handwritten price sticker. These details carry a narrative tempo that the feed is structurally designed to deny. SFS asks you to stay a little longer.

All printing has been approached from the same level of quality, with a meeting point where tradition meets technology when it comes to the style of printing. We are proudly partnering with Powerhouse Arts for all artwork production for the exhibition, and proudly using a unique tech-forward process in printing all UV Prints. Through a unique collaboration with Legion Paper, this same printing technique is realized on Stonehenge White Aluminum artist panels - a rigid, archival substrate that pairs a cotton-fiber surface with an aluminum core, combining the receptivity of fine art paper with the structural permanence of a gallery-ready panel. The result is a finished object that is as much a material statement as it is a photographic one. With each episode's gallery images specifically curated for the collaboration. All prints will be available for sale as in a very limited edition run of ten [ 10 ] each and made available for purchase via QR code online at the beginning of the opening reception until all editions have sold out.
