German photographer Michael Wolf lives in Hong Kong and bases most of his work around major cities. I love every piece of work he does, which isn't very common. I was particularly drawn to his 'Tokyo Compression' photos as they are similar to the photos I took using glass.

These photos are taken of people travelling in Tokyo, the public transport gets really busy. You can see how the people put up with it just because it's the only way they can get anywhere, yet you can feel how much they dislike it and how trapped they feel.

I also really liked Michael Wolf's photos '100x100'

Andre Masson- A surrealist artist that is among one of the first to attempt automatic drawing. He created his images by letting his hand move freely across paper whilst in a 'semi-trance' state. This hypnosis-like trance was believed to be a direct connection with the realm of dreams, a place described by the automatic writer Andre Breton as "dictated by thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic of moral concern" 

for my next mini project i want to explore the link between fashion and poverty. i was inspired top do this over a discussion with other students and tutors about an article that was shared on the guardian website; http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/feb/17/fashion-most-hypercapitalist-businesses
