serial planes

Serial Planes are units of form that represent planar sections of an overall volume or form.  The emphasis of this assignment is on creating a form transformation with a series of planes connected to a horizontal base(ground plane), vertical back board(vertical plane or partial box structure) or central axis core(dowel, board or plan that intersects the interior of the overall design) and demonstrate a gradation of movement, scale, position etc.
