Hall's practice is informed by a fanatical study of the natural world. He explores scientific phenomena using handmade devices constructed from materials such as coffee cups, waste pipes, cling film, and slide projectors. Referencing a long line of experiments by romantic scientists, Hall's assemblages are a far cry from modern instruments developed to provide infallible results, but they are no less suitable for perpetuating, controlling and inducing precise specific observations. Hall has recently embarked on a process of experimental research based in the hydrodynamics laboratory at UMIST as part of a residency project. His current work investigates globular vibration and the microscopic details of vibration-induced flow, droplet generation and standing wave formation.
