Go Away

We see things in clouds, so, by making one I expected an idea to present itself. But…. I just made a cloud. Then what?
Well, I gave it rain to stand on and gave it a tilt, and that introduced a sense of time and motion. It seemed the cloud could pass over the pedestal and the idea of being a sculpture.
Then I thought to make a little “Thurberesque” character act as a separate agent driving away the cloud. As such, the cloud becomes both a cloud in motion in its own time and an undesirable occupant of space claimed by our little protagonist. I find this an apt analogy of how one might wish to deal with depression. The title is an afterthought, recalling the children’s chant asking for the rain to leave.
