Pychogeographic artists.






Laura Oldfield Ford
An amazing pychogeographer and artist born in London. She begins her work with a city walk documenting her findings with her interesting and unique drawings. She has a self published magazine/comic and blog Savage Messiah that is a must for anyone interested in pychogeography. In her publications she conjures up an England of socio-political unrest, squat culture, brutalist government, hard-core punks and sentimental pop tunes. Many of her resent works focuses on the areas demolished to make way for the 2012 Olympics. I really enjoy how Ford mixes a pychogeographic derive with fictional story telling to produce a unique element to her art.
