"We did a landscape project and I looked at towns and cities. I started with a drawing of Notre-Dame in Paris and then decided to look at a famous building in London. I started with pencil drawings and then decided I wanted to make it three-dimensional, I like working big. Big Ben was built with cardboard boxes, rolls, newspaper and paste. I then painted it white and used black ink to carefully paint on the lines and detail on the tower, I used my drawings for reference. I love drawing, birds are my favourite."
