As a child Hall would fashion small sculptures made from flour mixed with tree sap. Discouraged by his father, he didn’t pursue art until later in life.
After serving in WWI as a stretcher bearer, he returned to Georgia and worked as a hotel bell captain, a sorority house busboy and then as a fabricator of concrete blocks for a construction company. It was here that Hall found himself
again—working with his hands.
He began making concrete sculpture around his home. His sculpture combined a mix of Christianity with an African conjuring culture that empowered objects with protective powers.
Concrete works from Hall's creative environment rarely come to the market.
