Mary Stuart Hall’s work examines the notion of place as one that is always in a state of becoming. She considers our experience of the Kirkwood neighborhood as both particular to the present and one that is rooted in the repetition of the past. Through photography and video, she looks for signifiers that represent that place and how we distinguish it from any other. Her work embodies a sense of place through the minutia of daily life while examining the boundaries of the neighborhood. By examining the contours of the neighborhood, she questions the determinism of a particular place in a particular time.
