It's almost all systems go for Tjalling de Vries' enigmatically named, elusively surfaced paste-up on the back of CoCA. Stunning viewing from Worcester Boulevard, it is also worth a closer inspection, as an intriguing selection of images reveal themselves through rips and tears in each of five paper layers. Thanks to our friends at CoCA for providing such a great backdrop. And yes, that's Tjalling walking purposefully away. Job done (nearly).
