Nathan Hall

Nathan Hall used the Land Line residency to construct a site-specific sound work, drawing on the day-to-day and behind-the-scenes sounds of the Gardens’ York Street location, including the herbarium and office spaces. Based on these locations and auditory experiences, he created a new audio artwork and accompanying musical performance, pointing ears to underappreciated aspects of Denver Botanic Gardens.
