From certainty to doubt

Mark Purdom's award winning publication From certainty to doubt will be explored in a gallery exhibition of the same name. The photographic works in this exhibition examine some of nature’s fundamental survival strategies – mimicry, camouflage and deception - and look at how humans have adapted these strategies in their lives.

Join us for the opening preview Mon 4 Dec, 4:30 - 6:30pm

Mark Purdom’s photographic work, while a commentary on people’s influence on the environment, also plays with our concept or arguably our preconceptions of the picturesque.

In 2015 he was a finalist in the Renaissanace Photography Prize, UK. Mark has a MA in Photography from the University of Brighton, England.

He is a researcher and lecturer at the School of Media Arts, Wintec, Hamilton, New Zealand.
