Millions viewed footage of Anne Hughes dangling upside down while clinging to shopping trolley
“He said: ‘We would like to encapsulate or immortalise Anne on the shutter’,” Tee2Sugars said. “As soon as he said that he didn’t have to finish the rest of the sentence. I said: ‘Yeah, I’ll be on my way.’”
Hughes is a cleaner at the shop and was waiting for her boss to let her in when the incident happened earlier this year. She told BBC News she was proud of the mural, calling it beautiful and brilliant. She said that at the time she thought she was “facing death”, but has since found humour in the aftermath. “I’ll never go against those shutters again. Never,” she said. “I’ve learned my lesson.”
Tee2Sugars called her a good sport. “It’s not something that’s going to change her life but it’s a funny moment that’s going to be remembered for ever,” the artist said. Because the mural is on the shop’s shutter, anyone hoping to see the artwork will have to do so late at night or early in the morning.
