Portrait of Archie Roach & Ruby Hunter by Kris Ralph © 2005

Two of Australia's finest Indigenous singer/songwriters. Archie was awarded an Human Rights Award, the first ever presented to a songwriter , in 1990 for his album "Charcoal Lane" and in particular " Took The Children Away"

Archie continues to write and sing with Ruby Hunter and tour Australia and OS. They are a captivating couple and their music is rich , poignant and intentionally moving.

I read that they were both have a special affinity with rivers and so I portrayed them as if they were standing in water.
