Cell Doors Colour:Raw Level Two at BathurstHeavy steel cell doors line the corridor of Female Ward 9 and 10 at Callan Park, rust staining the metal, paint peeling back through layers of institutional colour. The ward sits within the Kirkbride Complex, built between 1880 and 1885 on the principles of moral therapy: light, air, and distributed pavilions as the treatment itself. Part of the Callan Park series.
