Koby decided to enter the competition because of his love of building, a hobby he’s picked up with his father.
“I liked creating the giant emu. The absolute best part was when I was announced the winner I would remember it for ever,” he said.
Koby said he collected beer cans from the local pub to make the project.
“I would like to thank the organisers of the new Trangie Cultural Centre, I’d like to thank Charlie Evan’s grandson for buying my artwork and thanks to my dad for teaching me how to weld,” he said.
Koby is planning on entering next year’s Waste 2 Art competition.
“I already know what I’m going to make,” he said.
