The Essay - Head in the Clouds - Thought-Cloud

In a series tracing the role of clouds in the arts and architecture, writer, critic and translator Professor Esther Leslie examines the image of the clouds as a model of thought and the imagination itself: from the sublime of Immanuel Kant to the ridiculous of comic strip thought-clouds. She also recounts various ill-fated attempts in the past to project thoughts, ideas, messages and sales-pitches on to the clouds themselves.
