Debbie Smyth

Debbie Smyth is a textile designer. She uses techniques like knitting, knotting, basket making and orgami. Some of her work is created by stretching threads between plotted pins. This style was developed through training at West Wales School Of Artsand since graduating, over the past 2 years her work has progressed. She describes herself as constructed textile artist. Her work employs "an array of mechanisms, she folds, collapses, inflates and interlocks her materials to transform two dimensional lines and planes into three-dimensional shapes and space". Her work has already been exhibited at new designers, tent London and she's done several exhibitions nationally and internationally. Debbie Smyth was selected as one of the most promising graduates of 2008 for the Dezeen Talent zone at the London Design Festival. She drew electricity pylons across several canves panels using sewing pins and black thread. She stretched the thread between the pins.
