The articulated planes of the Townscape paintings are based upon compositions I developed as geometrical abstractions within a square, the Five Series. Their conceptual base has six square planes cut out based on a geometrical ordering system and laid on top of one another. To visualize the composition I gave each plane a different color and a specific place in the stack. Working from the back to the front, they are black, blue, gray, yellow, white, and red.  I considered transparency and rotation as additional elements to redefine the six original planes. Each painting should be seen as a three dimensional kinetic description of the simple action described by the title.
