Herschlein's photo series shows partial bodies in transit through settings of suburban quietude. Working primarily with sculpture and installation, he reflects the uncanny horrors of everyday life with wry humor.

From the artist:

"I was reading about conversion disorders, which is a kind of old-fashioned psychological thing, where a past trauma, whether it’s physical or psychological, manifests in the body with unrelated symptoms, like an arm will go numb with no physical cause except that it’s a blocked pathway or something in the brain. The body parts that I’m thinking about, for me, they’re not dismembered—they’re just isolated. . . . I’m thinking about how emotions haunt bodies, and then bodily emotions haunt houses and rooms and furniture."
