Following Barbara Freeman, I explore the extent to which \u2018another account of the sublime lies hidden and repressed\u2019 by the masculinist, \u2018metaphysical theories of sublimity\u2019 that seemingly exclude and attempt to foreclose female experience as abject and insignificant (Freeman, 1995).<\/p><p>Taking a cue from Freeman\u2019s contention \u2018that the story of this other sublime has yet to be written\u2019, my textiles draw inspiration from the abstract sublime paintings of Gillian Ayres and John Piper and the watercolour landscape sketches of Snowdonia by J M W Turner. My creative practice aims to reflect the rich potentiality of Welsh landscape art as a source for both textiles design and a creative investigation of the feminine
