"...The Los Angeles based artist took notice and introduced himself to a clique of young people who frequented businesses around his studio and became the subjects of ‘Folio A’ an arresting series of 13 images portraits published by CAMERA ARTISTS. ‘Folio A’ documents members of a securely photogenic subset interacting with Mull’s studio materials and paintings in moments of play, repose and transference. Mull’s project has clear Warholian overtones with both Marilyn and Michael Jackson making brief cameos. Despite acting as a daytime clubhouse for Warhol and his assistant’s Gerard Malanga and Billy ‘Name’ Linich’s recent discoveries the ‘Silver Factory’ churned out hundreds of paintings, prints, and films throughout 1962-67. Warhol shrewdly enlisted notable Factory visitors into staring into the camera’s lens in his notorious ‘stillies’ or Screen Tests (1964-6) that turned the tables on the vouyeristic expectations of the Factory’s freak show-seeking tourists. Nothing so cynical in ‘Folio A’, Mull and his subjects act in agreement and the mood is trusting and collaborative."
