pubs.rights-statement	This research situates itself in the field of fashion and textile design. Topographical Complexities IV was developed for the, Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award 2015 (WCTA), 13 June-26 July 2015 with the judging panel for the exhibition consisting of the Wangaratta Art Gallery Director and Katie Somerville, Senior Curator of Fashion and Textiles at the National Gallery of Victoria. The WCTA is a biennial acquisitive award and exhibition celebrating the diversity and strength of Australia’s textile artistry. Each incarnation sees professional Australian artists working in any style of textile media invited to submit an entry for consideration within a competitive selection process. The work presented demonstrates the diversity of knitted shapes to create a lexicon of new forms that investigate knitting within a contemporary context. Contributions have been made to focus on future design possibilities, with acknowledgement of the importance of a responsive approach towards design, a stance, which is progressive and not evocative. Other selected designers exhibiting included: Cecilia Heffer and Kate Just. The final work consists of multiple articulated pods being assembled to create a three dimensional arrangement. The knitted work continues to examined the relationship of knitting as a second skin “…concealing and revealing body parts and thus new ways of making the body visible and interesting to look at” (Entwistle and Wilson, 2001, Body Dressing, p. 4). ‘Topographical Complexities IV’ demonstrates a new typology in knitted three-dimensional patterns, challenging the conventions of knitting through the making process, which can be viewed as being part of a new fashion practice in knitted form. The work continues to examine the demise of coral in the Australian Great Barrier Reef, focusing on forms that represented coral bleaching and breakdown. The WCTA also coincided with the biennial Wangaratta Stitched Up Festival.	en_US
