“A ‘landscape’ cultivated or wild, is already artifice before it has become the subject of a work of art…Whether or not we are artists, we have been making this kind of mental conversion for centuries.”[1]
The Blue Mountains west of Sydney have been photographed and painted by millions of people for over 200 years. The background images for Double Vision come from here. Each is overlaid with a photographic layer made from small landscape oils I painted. The process was intuitive, but again has its origin in my interest in doubling and blending, in this case the blending of painting and photography.
We value landscape as a view, photograph or painting, while at the same time destroying the actual landscape through pollution, overdevelopment, arson and anthropogenic climate change.

Spare Time 2013
[Spare Time]...recall[s] a lost time, the myth of Menzies’ post-war white Australia. There is also a strong sense of family....the original slides were taken by Mifsud’s late father-in-law,
Doug Shearston who became a keen amateur photographer when he returned from World War Two. This family connection also creates a bridge through generations to the multicultural present as we can’t help reading the images of an imaged perfect past through a contemporary lens.
Adding it all up, by Mark Roberts, ‘Eight + One’ at The Shop Gallery, Rochford Street Review, 5 March 2015
Spare Time is dedicated to the memory of my late father in law, George Douglas Shearston (1914-2007)
