Visiting Parker on the site of his piece, "Caracol," (Spanish for snail) Spark gets a firsthand look at how he turns sod into art. Inspired by his 4-year-old son's snail collection, "Caracol," like Parker's other works, is fashioned almost entirely out of natural materials. Using tightly compacted clay and sand as a base, Parker constructs his nautilus-shaped creation entirely out of sod. Parker says he enjoys working with sod "because it is a living, growing entity" that eventually becomes "a very exciting support."
