“A direct connection to the brain”

Charles Pachter


Brain #: 338

Butter Tarts on the Brain puts Toronto artist Charles Pachter’s love of the delectable dessert on display. This piece came to life because whenever he thought about them, his mouth would start to water, so he assumed there must be a direct connection to the brain. Pachter also thinks the word onomatopoeia, the use of imitative and naturally suggestive words for rhetorical, dramatic, or poetic effect, aptly describes his sculpture. Food for thought indeed.
