This is a big one. While writing my PhD I started work on a position paper that became the larger conceptual frame for my research. Written between Naarm/Melbourne and Colombo, the initial essay became a preface in my exegetical writing. Simryn and Tom read it and invited me to expand it for their pocket book series. It has benefited from their feedback and close reading, along with Naomi Riddle and beautiful design work by Rudd Ruttens. A special thank you to my friends Helen Hughes and Anna Arabindan-Kesson, two widely published scholars I greatly admire, for their thoughtful and generous blurbs. And as always to Emily .atlas for everything.

Find Trent Walterโ€™s pocket book, Thuppahi: identity, object, method, now available on our website.

โ€œLike the rootless Burgher, Trent Walter understands his role in his print workshop as in-between and interstitial. Akin to an interpreter. Neither insider nor outsider, or perhaps both at once. Joining some of the most significant artists, poets, and writers of this century, ranging from Saidiya Hartman to Archie Moore, in this essay Walter deploys family historyโ€”with all its fundamentally impenetrable absences and fantastical yearningsโ€”as a critical and creative method with clear applications for a studio practice.โ€
โ€”Helen Hughes, Senior Lecturer, Monash University

โ€œWeaving between familial stories and silences, Trent Walter reimagines identity formation as artistic process. As he reclaims the shifting contingencies of relatedness through lived experience, printmaking and objecthood, he encourages us to look beyond the absences of history into the โ€˜needs and realities of the present.โ€™ Thuppahi is an offering: it seems to want to say here is how art can be a form of relation, how longing can be transformed into tenderness.โ€

Huge appreciation post for Rose Nolan ๐ŸŒน This weekend is the last to view Rose's expansive exhibition "Breathing Helps"

Alongside this show, Rose held an additional solo show at Anna Schwartz Gallery titled "Word Work" (head over to for installation photography) as well as launching her Enough flag made with at .studio for their collaborative "On Top of the World" program.

Working with Rose has been one of the great joys of running Negative Press since we were introduced by Warren Taylor back in 2012.

So excited to share with you a beautifully made book, featuring my recent drawings, designed by the exceptionally talented (and very patient) Yanni Florence.

Originally shown at ReadingRoom for โ€˜A Measure of Disorder, Part 2โ€™, 2023, this publication maintains a focus on the material and formal qualities of the original material. The drawings, reproduced at scale and in colour, are presented with attention to their spatial and conceptual detail.

โ€˜A Measure of Disorderโ€™ is published in a limited edition of 250 hardback copies, comprising 56 plates across 120 pages. The volume features texts by Brooke Babington and Tim Riley Walsh, photography by Andrรฉ Piguet, and image post-production by Peter Hatzipavlis. Each copy bears an embossed cover individually hand-marked in pencil by myself, rendering each copy unique. Published in 2025.

Please join us to celebrate the bookโ€™s launch on Saturday October 11th at Negative Press from 3โ€”5pm.

Massive congratulations to on being awarded the 2025 Bowness Prize

On behalf of the MAPh Foundation, we are thrilled to announce artist Anna Higgins as the winner of the 2025 Bowness Photography Prize, for โ€˜Two horizons' (2025). This composite image demonstrates technical mastery of both analogue and digital processes, where Higgins works with light and landscape to create an otherworldly experience of Victorian Alpine country.

With this image, Higgins aims to โ€˜challenge conventions of how the landscape is depicted in photography, foregrounding the ephemeral, abstract and painterly qualities of film and light.โ€™

The judging panel, consisting of artist and Bowness Photography Prize winner (2023) Anne Zahalka, Shaune Lakin ( Senior Curator Photography, NGA) and MAPh Director Anouska Phizacklea, selected one winner and two honourable mentions from the field of 50 finalists. As we celebrate 20 years of the Bowness Photography Prize, we reflect on the calibre and ingenuity of the artists who have submitted work over the years. They continue to shine a light on the possibilities of contemporary photography and its capacity for storytelling and revelation.

Anna Higgins wins $50,000 and her work will be acquired into MAPhโ€™s collection. Please join us in congratulating Anna!



MAPh is grateful for the support of all our partners, sponsors and donors towards the Bowness Photography Prize. As we celebrate its 20th iteration in 2025, we are proud to acknowledge its longevity and reputation as one of the most prestigious photography prizes in Australia.
