About
On speaking about his collection of vernacular photographs Heathsaid “When I was 25, I had five photographs from my past, snapshots of myself and my foster family, and one of my mother and father, and I tore them up – because I wanted to purify myself, to cleans the background out of my system. And I think now that I shouldn’t have done that, because Ive collected all these old photographs to replace those five. So in a sense shoes five have generated themselves into thousands. In a way its like trying to recreate, through these old photographs, a family album of my own for a family I never had. On a simple, kind of emotional level that’s my motivation for collecting these photographs. And in the beginning there was all this intense feeling of trying to reclaim from oblivion all these people, all these images of people, which were destined just to disappear.”
