As promised, part two of photos from the Clare Rojas show We They, We They that opened at the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham on Tuesday 2nd Feb. In the third, circular room was a display of old and antique, painted banjos. Click continue reading below for the rest of the pics.

I thought this was a really nice idea and they worked really well, hung from ribbons in the small turrety room at the Ikon, which unfortunately I wasn't able to get a photo of as a whole.

I think this one was my favourite:

At the end of the night Rojas gave a musical performance as Peggy Honeywell with songs from her last three albums. I was already a fan of her folky-country music so this was such a bonus. I didn't take photos with a flash but managed to get a couple of grainy pics of her playing.
