Mülller's practice has been described as addressing contemporary feminist and Genderqueer concerns, extending from the feminist movements of the 1970s and onward. She is a member of the feminist genderqueer collective LTTR. She has used text, sculpture, video, performance, painting, and drawing among other mediums in her work. For instance, for her exhibition Raw/Cooked at the Brooklyn Museum in 2012, Müller invited a range of feminist and queer artists, including Nicole Eisenman, A.L. Steiner and Amy Sillman to create two-dimensional renderings of t-shirt quotes taken from the Lesbian Herstory Archives in Brooklyn.
