Notes
Notes from Creator
The original graffiti (an art-painted sticker) was glued in 2014 on a wall in the Great Eastern Road in London, UK. It has endlessly been reproduced on UK and international media ever since. The graffiti was visible for four years until it deteriorated due to weather. Maupal depicts HM Queen Elizabeth II who, waiting for results of the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, does not utter a word and practices yoga, levitating on the fumes of a cup of tea (what a British tradition!). Behind her, the famous warning from the London Underground "MIND THE GAP" which in this case is explicitly addressed to the Scots. The Scottish flag labelled tea-bag hangs out of the teapot.
