Catalogue Note
“Up close, Mull’s work reveals itself to be deceptively low-tech and handmade. His impeccable craftsmanship affirms the traditional studio-based processes of distilling tangible form from the ether of experience. Mull is a wry and incisive artist and doesn’t align his work with Romanticism... Instead he gives us Fragonard and the Rococo” (Carter Mull, ‘Carter Mull at Fused Space’, Contemporary Art Review, 3 April 2016, online).
