Charles Robb - Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Bullwinkel

            Charles Robb
Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Bullwinkel AO MBE ARRC ED FNM FRCNA (2023)
Bronze, stainless steel and concrete
Acquired under commission in partnership with
the Australian College of Nursing Foundation
AWM2022.533.1
Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Bullwinkel was an imposing figure with a garrulous
laugh, known for her strength of character and warmth. This sculpture reflects
these aspects of her service and character, her dignified composure and
unrelenting dedication to nursing principles of care. Bullwinkel stands in a
symmetrical pose, framed by the gentler horizontal gestures of her garments and
the water beneath her feet. These movements are echoed by the resonating
contours of the base, a sculptural reference to the impact Bullwinkel had on the
world around her.
Emanating from her feet is a gentle watery surface into which a series of 22
stainless steel discs is set. Each represents one of the women killed in the Banka
Island Massacre on 16 February 1942. The discs replicate the pattern of the stars
visible in the night sky above Banka Island that evening.
