In the last decade of his life, Heinecken revisited his 1960s idea of creating photographic objects, and produced a number of large-scale sculptures. The Shivas—hybrid works fashioned out of cut-and-crumpled magazine pages that combine photography, painting, and sculpture—are Americanized icons of the eponymous Hindu deity. “These could be made as paintings,” Heinecken remarked, “but when you see the actual object, you can’t escape the idea that these are all products that are out there. We buy them and use them, it’s their advertising that makes all these media happen. If these products weren’t there, there wouldn’t be a TV. We wouldn’t have magazines to buy.”
