Brisbane artist Ray Coffey’s series of exquisite charcoal drawings reveal the hardship and humanity of homeless people.

His work questions the path that people take and the situations they find themselves in, often not of their own making. His work has been carried out as a result of conversations with homeless men and women in Brisbane about the circumstances of their lives.
