Memorial Window Description & History
Stained Glass Window at Heidelberg Repatriation [now The Austin] Hospital - Memorial Window Description & History
The success of the Pastoral Care stained glass door panels prompted the "Duckboards Project", another installation at the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital, now part of Austin Health. The commission was named after the timber-slatted paths laid over the sodden grounds of theWestern frontand then used again during construction of the Hospital in 1941. Although those historic paths have long been concreted, covered and refurbished, the project was envisaged as a tangible link with the hospital and a reference to its military and medical significance. In her complex design that incorporates symbols of the Army, Navy and Air Force as well as the Repatriation Hospital, Alison McMillan skillfully used glass painting alongside photographic material to create a rich glass tapestry. The work was progressively installed over four years, from 1998-2001.
