At 4 a.m. on June 26, 2023, Jerry Holsopple<\/strong>, professor of Visual and Communication Arts (VACA<\/a>) at EMU, waved goodbye to a group of students as they boarded a bus in Lithuania heading to the airport. He had just led his final intercultural group<\/a> to the region (the ninth such trip for him) and was pondering what lay ahead. He had spent nearly every other summer since 2004 immersing himself in the Baltic states, making friends, collaborating with LCC International University, writing reflections, taking thousands of photos, and discovering plenty of trauma and even more hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow do you mark the ending of one part of your life journey, while anticipating the next,\u201d he wrote in a journal entry from that day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roughly an hour after seeing his students off, he was on his bicycle pedaling toward a ferry that would begin an 1,800-kilometer (1,118-mile) journey across three countries in 22 days. Photographs from his ride along the EuroVelo 10\/13 bike route, which follows the coast of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, as well as journal entries he logged during the trek, are the featured exhibition on display at the Margaret Martin Gehman Gallery. An opening reception for Holsopple and his collection of photos, paintings and writings was held at the gallery on Friday, Feb. 21. The exhibition will remain on display through March 21.<\/p>\n\n\n

Holsopple, who joined the EMU faculty in 2000 (he taught the school\u2019s first digital media classes as a part-time instructor starting in 1998), is retiring this year. His contributions to EMU throughout the past 25 years are too numerous to name, but include the creation of the communication major within the Language and Literature Department in 2000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe actually built the communications department,\u201d VACA Professor Steven Johnson<\/strong> said in introductory remarks at the reception. \u201cIt eventually merged with the art department to become the present-day Visual and Communication Arts department that you all know and love. \u2026 VACA majors look to Jerry for honest feedback and wise mentoring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Holsopple spent the 2009-2010 academic year as a Fulbright scholar at LCC International University in Klaipeda, Lithuania. His Into the Window <\/em>exhibition, featuring icons he painted during his year there, was the first exhibition held at the Gehman Gallery when it opened in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n

Holsopple talks about the experiences from his bike trip in 2023.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The title of his latest exhibition, Finding Water<\/em>, relates to the route he and his biking partner, Glyn Jones, took along the Baltic Sea coastline. \u201cEvery day we would see the water, from sandy windswept beaches to large rock boulders left by the glacier centuries ago,\u201d a journal entry states. But, it also relates to how the metaphorical river of life carries us along our journeys. \u201cI wanted this to be a show that\u2019s not about remembering what I\u2019ve done for 30 years or whatever, but about embracing the mystery of what is yet to come,\u201d he shared at the reception. \u201cAnd, what each day on a bike trip brings you that you don\u2019t know is going to come your way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cWhy did I take this bike trip?\u201d Holsopple asked the crowd gathered at Friday\u2019s reception. \u201cBecause I was looking for a way to process what it meant to say goodbye to these people. I stopped to visit people along the way that I had known all these years. It was like giving all three countries a big hug.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

The exhibition features several grids of photographs, each related to a theme. One grid shows Holocaust sites in the capital city of Riga, Latvia. Another is a collection of photos of churches that he passed by on his route. A grid of coffee shops includes his favorite cafe in Estonia, Kehrweider, \u201cwith its underground feel, good coffee and snacks, and an attitude,\u201d he wrote in his journal. \u201cIn the early days of bringing students on these trips, you couldn\u2019t get a carry-out coffee anywhere. Now, coffee shops are everywhere and people carry their paper cups down the sidewalks in hordes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Referencing a large photograph of trees along a shore, Holsopple recounted his experience capturing the moment. \u201cIt was about 6 a.m. when we went down the hill and I saw this reflection and I jammed on my brakes,\u201d Holsopple said. \u201cI was not going to pass up that reflection. I\u2019m always fascinated by reflections because I think it plays with this idea of reality and what we imagine and what we see if we really pay attention to what\u2019s happening in life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Finding Water <\/em>also includes a pair of icons that Holsopple painted. One of them is inspired by an icon that Maria Skobtsova, a Russian poet, nun, and member of the French Resistance during World War II, was working on before she died at the Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp in Germany. Holsopple and EMU Theater Director Justin Poole created a musical theater production<\/a> based on her life\u00a0that opens at the MainStage Theater in March. The other icon is a stylized self-portrait that he created in 2016.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Cassidy Walker<\/strong>, an EMU senior majoring in art, photography, and digital media, attends every gallery opening through her work for the VACA department, but said Holsopple\u2019s was special to her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJerry\u2019s the reason I ended up coming to EMU in the first place,\u201d she said. \u201cI had gotten into some big art schools, and he convinced me that I would get a great education here and that I\u2019d get to be one of the Lithuania kids.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walker was part of Holsopple\u2019s final intercultural trip to Lithuania in 2023. She spoke about his guidance in helping her figure out her goals for the future. \u201cI was nervous about becoming a triple-major and he\u2019s been this person I\u2019ve been able to lean on,\u201d she said. \u201cHe\u2019s always been there for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

She took several classes taught by Holsopple and said she likes staying connected with those who helped develop her skills. At the opening reception, she said she was drawn to Holsopple\u2019s use of reflections and unique angles. \u201cIt\u2019s mirrored so perfectly that it\u2019s hard to tell where the surface is, like where reality meets reflection,\u201d she said about the photo of trees on a glassy lake.<\/p>\n\n\n
