2. Vol. 1, Book 2 - Genealogical Patterns: Meanders, Ramiforms & Disks
In Genealogical Patterns: Meanders, Ramiforms & Disks, Carpenter draws connections between horizontal meanders and vertical bands in visual pattern-making, and interprets them as patterns of genealogical descent. This book introduces the concepts of ramiforms, vertical and horizontal meanders, vertical and horizontal bands and compartmental patterns. It traces similarities of visual traditions in the making of genealogical motifs around the world and over centuries. It goes deeper into the symbolism of genealogical diagrams, including split figures, and introduces the concept of rebirth.
