Tom Hall is a Brisbane based artist whose practise involves explorations into place, space and time. So you’re thinking, well that makes me an artist too right? I’m always looking around the place, running late, being very aware of my personal space on public transport. The difference between your awareness of your surroundings and Tom’s - is that he turns his into compositional installations and manages to tell a story through the use of sounds and images (and you were lost at figuring out how to turn your bus tickets into art).

By capturing sounds and teaming them with moving images, Tom creates site specific installations that allow us to explore the places that tell Brisbane’s past and present stories. Delving into the forgotten history of hauntingly quiet pockets all over the city. From the disused wharves at Teneriffe to The Powerhouse in New Farm or the Wynnum Jetty, alot of these sites were bustling industrial areas during World War Two. How very interesting indeed.
