Thom and Angelmouse’s Rush Hour at Cloud Heaven presents a railway infrastructure fantasy where Sydney trains are personified, taking on characteristics of the artist’s friends to explore Thom’s deep and at times conflicted affection for trains.Rush Hour at Cloud Heaven observes Thom’s practice of nicknaming train stations, people and places to conform with his individual world view. Conceived by Thom, produced by Angelmouse, and constructed collaboratively, the work ultimately presents a conversation between the two collaborators as they forge a creative relationship and strive to understand each other’s different personal meaning systems.
