Formed in 1995 "Cv/Visual Arts Research" is a documentary resource of developments in contemporary art. The survey began in April 1988, and was first published as the quarterly review "Cv Journal of Art and Crafts" (later "Cv Journal of the Arts"). "Cv" was produced until 1992 and the collection of interviews, features and reviews provided the foundation of the "Cv/VAR" archive and subsequent publications. Following "Cv Journal" the data-base shifted towards electronic publishing, allowing a greater flexibility of communication. "Cv/VAR" addresses the fields of academic research, galleries and museums worldwide, and a growing non-specialist readership. In this respect the archive has been re-organised as a file system which may be accessed as individual articles or collated volumes, according to specific requirements. The programme is categorized as Interviews with the Artists (files 1-8); Curators and Collections (files 9/10); Crafts Directory (files 11/12); Small Histories (files 13/14); Guide to the Arts (files 15/16); Art, Criticism & Display (files 17/18) and an open area for current developments (files 19/20). This describes how students in the Art Study Plan at Richmond Adult & Community College 1988 worked on a 8'x12' painting - "Whirlwind" that represented the carnal sins of society. This was recorded in situ in three sessions as the work was in progress.

This essay explores the development of Salvador Dali, from the early phases of childhood, the bizarre and complex aims of his first experiments, to his absorption into high society of Paris in the 1930s, and his inclusion in the Surrealist movement from 1928 to 1939. The essay focuses on the makeup of a provocative and original personality acutely reflexive, intelligent and pathologically driven. As a creative signifier of considerable and generative impact, Dali can be identified as a unique sounding board for his own and succeeding times.

"The Landscape Series" of 2002 to 2006 was made in quantities of thirty to one hundred 1' square panels, each of the thirty sets generally taking three weeks to complete. The panels were worked on flat, painting eighteen at a time in fifteen minute bursts. They were laid out on an old framed 6' x 3' piece which also served as a container for the pools of colour washed over the textured surface. Two inch square wooden cubes were used to stack the paintings in small towers to dry out. Various factors steered the series development: there was reference to an initial colour plan, thoughts about the load-bearing pressures on a place, tracks and crossing points, airflow, water, spaces and intervals, the nature of settlement in the land. For a city: light and shadows on buildings, streets, side alleys and hidden courtyards, people, stores, traffic, noise, incidents and interruptions. Titles were assigned later to photographs of the line of production. The identity of a place was achieved not by literal description but as an equivalent found by coincidence in the passage of an abstract process.

Then gathered in an anthology, Interviews with the Artists: Elements of Discourse, (editions in 1993/1996/2001/2007).

Sets of penel paintings of landscape in Cornwall, Oxfordshire, Lincolnshire, Dartmoor and abroad in California, Spain and Greece. Includes large recent diptychs by the artist.The Landscape Series was developed in two phases: sixteen sets were made from February 2002 to June '03 and a further fourteen in February 2006 totalling some 1,500 panel paintings. The uniform size of a30cm square panel grew from the idea of one painting being all painting, or one landscape becoming all landscapes. With gesso and emulsion, mounds and hollows were formed by sweeping and dividing poured paint, using cardboard strips cut from cartons. The panels were laid on a framed base board which also served as a container for pools of colour washed over the textured surface. Two inch square wooden cubes were used to stack the paintings in small towers to dry out. Various factors steered the series: thoughts about load-bearing pressures on a place, tracks and crossing points, air flow, water, spaces and intervals, the nature of settlement in the land. Offset corner marks in the panels from the cubes stood for a house, rounds for a moon. Titles were assigned later to the line of production. The identity of a place emerged not by literal description but as an equivalent found by coincidence in the passage of an abstract process
