Today I overheard the first tree murmur that it’s been a long summer and maybe a rest would feel good. #autumniscoming #cvforcatskillwaters
Hi everyone! This is a new account I’ve started with catskillwaters exploring connections between art and nature. Think of it as Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy, without Jack Handy, deadly serious and only about art and nature. Now you got it! #cvictorforcatskillwaters #artandnature
We had a great opening! Friends drove long miles to join local Sundown residents for a lively conversation and relaxed afternoon in the heart of the Catskills. Sponsored by @nycheadwaters

Working on my #catskillwaters project and came across this fresh breath of summer pic. Couldn’t be more grateful for this beautiful land and water. #hudsonvalley #cvforcatskillwaters
Chris Victor scouting locations for his installation!
Scouting potential spots for site specific work for Catskill Waters. I love this place, X marks the spot, and yes, the pay phone works. #cvforcatskillwaters #catskillwaters #chrisvictor #sculpture #installationart #contemporaryart #fineart
Owner Paul Hnatiw tells us—his store is the only gun AND convenience store in the county. The name of the store, 3 Goldens, refers to Golden Retrievers he used to breed. He no longer does that professionally but he still has his own dogs.
More compelling sites for my Catskill Waters project. #cvforcatskillwaters #catskillwaters #chrisvictor #sculpture #installationart #contemporaryart #fineart #grahamsvilleny
It’s official! @ceevictor is starting a site-specific installation at this gun and convenience store located near Blue Hole in Peekamoose mountain. Our reception is on July 20. Stay tuned.
Chris showing his sketch to Paul. I had no idea how he would respond to our idea. Politically he is conservative and a gun rights advocate, with some strong opinions that would place him at the opposite end from positions found in typical supporters of contemporary art. But Paul got right onboard!

Conceptual sketch for his installation by Chris Victor. In this version he uses cinder blocks and water bottles as main components, but anything can change...
Coming July 20th, stay tuned... #cvforcatskillwaters #sitespecificart #mixedmediaart #chrisvictor #sculpture #contemporaryart #fineart
Chris, Paul, and his pooch discussing the installation of Chris’s kinetic work. He’ll be making it onsite, in between the payphone (still works!) and coke machine.
Many thanks to those who made the trek out for the opening. It was a beautiful day! And many, many thanks to catskillwaters and Paul and Barbara Hnatiw for graciously hosting the work and this project. The piece is up till the end of summer, stop by and take a look 👀 #catskillwaters #cvforcatskillwaters #sitespecificart #sundown #hurricaneirene #mixedmediaart #chrisvictor #sculpture #contemporaryart #fineart #sunpodcast

Chris Victor working on his installation in Sundown!
Much of the material for this piece is from Paul’s sand pile which was washed up on his property in hurricane Irene in 2011. #catskillwaters #cvforcatskillwaters #sitespecificart #sundown #hurricaneirene

Content, subject, art, nature, self, my leg, this moment, you reading this, the thing-feeling-energy-desire that compels us to do this or that, and of course, the open book of run on sentences that is art and nature into which we can dive as deep as we want. These are a few of my favorite things. #studiothoughts #contemporaryart #cvforcatskillwaters #artandnature

Paul and Barbara at their 3 Goldens Convenience Store. I’ll begin installing my piece Sundown here next week. The reception is on July 27th, and we also have a podcast documenting the project so far, which will continue through the summer.
