Scarborough Arts

2. Psychoanalysis . the part of the psychic apparatus that experiences and reacts to the outside world and thus mediates between the primitive drives of the id and the demands of the social and physical environment.
Is ego a human phenomenon? Is the human ego an essential ingredient in the art making process? How does the ego fuel the creation of artwork, and how does it manifest in your work?
We leave the interpretation of this theme up to you, the artist.
Pieces for the exhibition should relate to the theme of Ego, and will be selected based upon a combination of: artistic quality, technical execution and/or conceptual strength, originality and impact.
