Hamilton-based artist Ron Eady was born in 1957 in
Toronto into a long line of craftsmen. His father was
a piano cabinet maker, and his grandfather designed
stained glass windows for churches.
Eady had a good concept for his brain sculpture but
before he could write it down he forgot what it was.
Then he realized that was it!
It seems as he gets older, he will occasionally expe-
rience these short circuits. He'll go to do something, then the thought will
evaporate or he will temporarily forget something that he would normally know.
Everyone experiences these faulty electrical impulses to some extent. To a greater
extent, mental illness could be considered short circuiting, a malfunction of the
neurons and chemical impulses in the brain.
