Paint peels from every surface in thick, curling sheets. The ceiling sags where plaster has collapsed, exposing dark timber lath underneath. A pale blue rectangle marks the wall to the left, possibly a notice board or covered window. The floor is littered with fallen debris. Two panelled doors stand ajar in the far corner, letting weak light spill through from an adjacent room. The air looks heavy with dust and calcium.

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.
