About this print
Pale green walls hold three windows. Venetian blinds sag from their brackets, one folded and collapsed at a diagonal across the centre pane. Afternoon sun cuts a sharp rectangle onto the concrete floor. A pillow sits slumped against the far wall. Graffiti tags mark the blinds and plaster. Timber shelving hangs loose on the right, a length of fabric draped over it. Corrugated iron roofing is visible through the glass. The room smells like damp gyprock and dust.

The series
Waterfall Sanatorium
The first patients arrived at the Hospital for Consumptives, Waterfall on 14 April 1909, with initial provision for 180 men. A women's wing opened in May 1912 for 120; by 1919 it had become the largest sanatorium in New South Wales, holding 788 patients. The site sat at about 1,000 feet (305 m), 26 miles (42 km) south of Sydney, on the medical theory that tuberculosis needed 'high and rarefied atmosphere in the country away from the grime and pollution of cities'.
