White ceramic tiles line the left wall, cracked and pulling away from the substrate. A vertical pipe runs floor to ceiling, its paint bubbled and flaking. Cubicle partitions in pale green laminate stand ajar, one door hanging open. The floor is a patchwork of small brown and cream tiles, many loose or missing entirely. A tangle of electrical cable sits coiled in the debris. Overhead, plaster sags from the ceiling where water has broken through to exposed timber framing.

The series
Callan Park
Dr Frederic Norton Manning rejected the asylum as 'a cemetery for deceased intellects'. In 1876 he toured asylums in England, France, Germany and the United States, returning with drawings of Chartham Down Hospital in Kent. Working with Colonial Architect James Barnet and Botanic Gardens director Charles Moore, he built Australia's first hospital purpose-built for moral therapy treatment on the Iron Cove foreshore.
