kingsXstitch Erotic Cross Stitch Exhibition – Adam & Damian
kingsXstitch takes what’s meant to be quick digital images shared between two sexually charged men, and transforms them into slow and deliberate cross stitch pieces: a medium typically reserved for much more traditional, wholesome subjects.
This exhibition primarily features the two artists and their friends as subjects, and by placing the pieces in a public space aims to be a second ‘coming out’ for the sexual shame that many gay men still may carry.

New Year Group Show 2024
David Sweeney first exhibition
“Lesley Dimmick has reminded me that my exhibition is imminent and that it is time to write a spiel to promote it. And with her reminder, reality bared their teeth. Another commitment looming and I am racing to get ready! Not only that, I am also obliged to write something credible about my paintings.
I will be exhibiting framed works of oil paintings on paper and a couple of framed colour pencil drawings of the East Sydney Hotel in action. They have been framed by Sokquon Tran. The framing is modern and the craftsmanship is so good it could have been undertaken in Amsterdam during the Dutch Golden Age. I am also completing oil paintings on canvas and linen. I will need as much time as possible between now and when I hang on 18 December 2023 to finish painting; so if you come to my exhibition, please don’t touch them! 😊
The paintings will be a mix of portraits, self portraits, seascapes, and landscapes. Some will be more trippy than others.
Thank you
David Sweeney”

Plus newly edited work including ‘Antarctic Icebergs’ and ‘Sydney in Colour’. All are welcome to attend on 25 November at TAP Gallery 8pm. Entry by donation. Limited seats please book on

Moment of impact. The Japanese harpoon ship, the Yushin Maru 3 (right), tries to shake off the anti-whaling Sea Shepherd ship, the Bob Barker (left), from the Japanese factory ship the Nisshin Maru’s tail (background), ramming the Bob Barker and tearing a one-metre gash in its hull, and damaging itself in the process. Southern Ocean, Antarctica 2010.
In the name of ‘research’, using a loophole in the International Whaling Convention, Japanese whalers set a yearly quota of 1,035 whales to kill in the Antarctic waters, many in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary. No academically respected, internationally peer reviewed scientific research papers have been published by the whalers. The multinational, anti-whaling, direct-action, marine conservation organisation Sea Shepherd sailed yearly to Antarctica until 2017 (the last of three Antarctic campaigns I photographed), to physically obstruct and stop the Japanese whaling slaughter. Japan ceased its whaling operations in the Antarctic, repeatedly blaming Sea Shepherd for its whale quota loss. Sea Shepherd, since 2002 when the organisation started obstructing the Japanese Antarctic whaling operations, directly helped save the lives of over 6,000 whales.
