Steven Durbach, Chaotic Self Portrait, 2019-20. Ink on paper, 45 x 30cm. Courtesy: the artist and Incinerator Art Space, Sydney.

Steven Durbach (aka Sid Sledge) is interested in the inherent chaos of everyday life, and the beauty which can be found in its unpredictability and ephemerality. These ideas are expressed in his drawings which reveal the chaotic and allude to the uncertainty associated with certain processes. Durbach’s manipulated self-portraits evoke this sense of unpredictability and his kinetic sculptures capture these processes in time. As a scientist, Durbach draws on the physical processes that give rise to the phenomena that he explores as an artist.
