Made of wood, plaster, and wax, Herschlein’s sculptures and reliefs depict headless, scarecrow-like figures and dismembered body parts. The effect is at once unsettling and surprisingly tender: figures lined up against a fence grasp each others’ hands as they seem to yearn toward the warm glow of suburban windows; a black figure reaches inside a window pane to gently grasp the draping curtain. The voyeur appears as a common character in Herschlein’s work, not as a threat but as “somebody who feels outside of the equation,” explains the artist. Alienation, aloneness, and fear also run through Herschlein’s work, with the intent of sparking deeper self-reflection. “If I can look at that at face value,” says the artist, “maybe it’s fine to be scared or sad or anxious; it’s not such a threat.”
