Statement
With his work, Mullen aim’s to question these shifting modes of perception
through dialectical compositions, and expressions of color
light, and darkness. That results in works that might appear as digital
renderings however upon closer inspection reveal the materiality by
which they are constructed. A time-consuming craftsmanship that
does not seek binary perfection, but rather embraces nuisance, imperfection,
and materiality.
