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. This publication aims to bring Mannix's fragile artist books to a wider audience.
