'I'd actually done the magnolia during the daytime and really enjoyed doing it. It was incredible coming out at night, and there are no leaves, just the flowers. The light effect is just so amazing, from that one light by the door. It lights up the whole side of the church, and the shadows of the gate coming through. I remember the security guys were really nice men. They loved it and kept taking photos of me all the time. I felt real sense of achievement when I did this. It was quite a big thing to take on, doing a magnolia tree at night in Piccadilly.'
