I Am Cut Viciously

I Am Cut Viciously is a reproduction of an original artist book by Australia's greatest Outsider Artist Anthony Mannix.This book was created in 1988 and acquired by The Museum of Everything in London in 2016. This publication aims to bring Mannix's fragile artist books to a wider audience. To this original artist book has been added poetic text from his many other works. Mannix's creative output spans thirty-five years and includes writings, drawings, paintings, sculptures, artist books and sound recordings.He has exhibited his work in Australia, Europe and the U.S.A. and is the co-founder of the Australian Collection of Outsider Art. Mannix's work centres on the documentation and investigation of his experiences of 'madness' and, what is for him, madness' implicit creativity. Mannix's work derives much of its emotional intensity from his detailed depiction of a world-view that is by turns visionary, philosophical and erotic.
