Essays in the art

I think Parker made some kind of conceptual leap a while back with his tracks and blocks, and his recent work has been extremely sophisticated and elegant. My perspective may be colored by fatherly pride, of course, but I think the kid's got it going on, structural design-wise. So when I came home to find the structure in the picture below, it was obvious to me that this was not an incomplete design. No, this was a study in track building he'd taken upon himself, a technical exploration. Four tracks on four levels, by Parker Long. I can't wait until he graduates to erector sets.
