💧CRY With Me: Tear Drops💧
Melbourne Design Week

14-24 May
@outregallery 319 Smith St. FITZROY

Blown Glass // Screen Print - Made in Canberra

———————————-

April Phillips and Outré Gallery present Cry With Me, a 24-hour window presentation of hand blown glass objects, holding and channeling tissues as a vessel to hold a
moment for fallen tears. The Smith Street facing display is augmented through a vinyl wall treatment and objects are accompanied by locally hand printed packaging.

Drop Let celebrates the infinite possibilities within a single drop, an impermanent compound of fluidity and clarity. Lead artist April Phillips has used the emoji-like droplet across her practice as a recurring motif, synonymous with sadness, yet smile-inducing as a light hearted symbol of optimism. The iconic shape puts a freeze frame on time, liquid suspended to represent a fallen tear, rain from the sky, a bead of sweat, heightened climax and nourishing hydration.

This installation includes the tissue vessel as a newly launched product developed in collaboration with glass master Tom Rowney, assisted by @anninngambra,
cold worked by @edwinaleeper_ and production manager Jacqueline Knight @glassola1 at @canberraglassworks
The packaging is printed by the artist at @megaloprintstudio with screen print superstar @alexlundy

Merging art, science, technology and the natural world, Friends With Computers’ Under Waters is an interactive immersive installation that invites viewers to enter—and remain within—a pocket of deep time.

Building a multi-sensory experience through projection, tracking technologies and poetic computation, the work presents a parallel universe that celebrates the metaphysical connection between oceans and stars, diving into a speculative past while travelling towards a celestial future.

Learn more about Under Waters in the latest PICA Art Talks video.

boorda yeyi is supported by The Ian Potter Foundation (Founding Patron), along with the Feilman Foundation and Lotterywest (Principal Patrons). 'Under Waters' is supported by Perth Festival and Wesfarmers Arts through their Boorloo Contemporary program. ⁠

Super Kaylene Whiskey

That’s a wrap! Thank you Kaylene @iwantja_arts …you are such an important, clever, dazzling, cheeky, dynamic, hard working artist. I hold the trust you put in me dear, to be your curator is the best. Your ideas and dedication to this exhibition made it sparkle and shine + the Cathy Freeman commission is beyond good! @clothilde_bullen thank you for being my advisor and hero - never giving me a straight answer or direction so I could feel out the journey. The curatorial team @ipp____ @legoflamb1 for sounding out the process, and for encouraging new ways from within the institution while following Kaylene’s lead: championing First peoples knowledges and strong women. What a solid summer show @portraitau — the world needs more major blak led portraiture exhibitions like this, a timely presentation.

Complex Digital Object (moving image, sound, real-time body tracking, digital sculptures, photogrammetry scans, animation, particle systems), polyester tassels, cotton / polyester rugs, aluminium and polyvinyl.

2025 boorda yeyi Immersive Arts Commission Under Waters uncovers a speculative past of 500,000,000 (five hundred million) years ago when the majority of Earth’s surface was submerged in water. Streamed as a seamless loop, this moving image work operates as a portal—an all-access pass to a seemingly impossible dreaming— presenting ‘now’ in parallel to ‘long ago’ as a step to actualise deep time.

Extending the immense spatial and temporal scale of the work, Under Waters operates as a site for real-time play and interaction. The presence of the audience’s bodies mirror in the digital world, creating cause and effect in the unfolding scene. Immersed within the continuum of an ancient saltwater wonderland, audiences become inhabitants—activating this thriving world through movement and attentiveness.

The depths of the ocean floor present deep-water canyons, coral seas and rich kelp forests; an expansive and interconnected ecosystem. The slow propulsion through the deep reveals a rip, opening to a galactic sky: stars, nebula and infinite blackness—a reminder that deep oceans
and sky are connected as one; opposing points of truth that anchor the universe.

Under Waters is the inaugural recipient of PICA’s boorda yeyi Immersive Arts Commission. boorda yeyi, meaning ‘future now’ in Whadjuk Noongar language, is a program dedicated to expanding artistic practice through the use of technology, contributing to new ways of understanding, producing and experiencing contemporary art in Australia.

Cover Story for @artguideau by @rosamundbrennan
Launch Feb 2026 @pica_perth with @perthfest @artonthe_move
———

Presented as the first boorda yeyi Immersive Arts Commission, Under Waters carries audiences into a speculative past, billions of years before our own, when saltwater stretched across most of the Earth’s surface. The installation celebrates water as a key element of life, opening a portal into deep time where oceanic and celestial realms entwine.

Visitors are invited to slow down and dwell within a living, generative environment that reshapes itself in response to their presence. Through real-time body tracking, each person’s silhouette dissolves and reforms as Xenophora-like forms echoing marine molluscs that adorn their shells with gathered fragments. As audiences linger, their digital bodies accrete layers of coral, sand, rock and stellar matter, becoming part of an abundant natural world.

Presented as the first boorda yeyi Immersive Arts Commission, Under Waters carries audiences into a speculative past, billions of years before our own, when saltwater stretched across most of the Earth’s surface. The installation celebrates water as a key element of life, opening a portal into deep time where oceanic and celestial realms entwine.

Visitors are invited to slow down and dwell within a living, generative environment that reshapes itself in response to their presence. Through real-time body tracking, each person’s silhouette dissolves and reforms as Xenophora-like forms echoing marine molluscs that adorn their shells with gathered fragments. As audiences linger, their digital bodies accrete layers of coral, sand, rock and stellar matter, becoming part of an abundant natural world.
