Provenance
The vast, derelict kitchen within Callan Park's former psychiatric centre stands silent. Rusting sinks and broken tiles mark decades of disuse. Empty shelves line the walls, echoing the thousands of meals once prepared here for patients.

About this print
From the field notes
A commercial kitchen stripped to its bones. Tiled floor, grimy and cracked, stretches toward a wide servery window backed by white brick. A coil of electrical cable hangs from the ceiling where extraction hoods were removed. To the right, a heavy stainless steel coolroom door sits closed, a red fire safety sign fixed beside it. A crumpled sheet of material lies on the floor. Light floods in flat and cold through the openings. The air looks thick with dust and damp.
— Brett Patman
The series
Callan Park
Callan Park opened in 1885 as the Callan Park Hospital for the Insane, on land at Rozelle in Sydney's Inner West. The Kirkbride Complex was designed by colonial architect James Barnet and superintendent Frederick Norton Manning, intended as a working example of the more progressive psychiatric care principles of the period. The hospital was reorganised through the twentieth century and many of the wards remain. Brett photographed across multiple visits between 2016 and 2018.
