Debbie Smyth


Textile artist Debbie Smyth uses strategically placed pins to stretch a network of threads over, creating an image. From a distance Smyth's works look like ink drawings but up close you can see the 3-dimensional detail that goes into each piece.

 I found her work in the book 'Tangible, High Touch Visuals' and was first drawn to it because of the subject matter of electricity pylons, the same as my 3d piece. I also think it is a refreshing change to and development on typical line drawing.
