MICHAEL JAMES STUDIO QUILTS @ 50
Women Are? Men Are? 2003, 42” h x 98”w; digitally-developed & digitally-printed cotton; reactive dyes; machine-pieced & machine-quilted. Collection, International Quilt Museum. Photo by L. Gawel.
This quilt is a reflection on the dual masculine/feminine principles at work in each of us. I see these principles expressed as aspects of Nature. While many cultures have seen the forest and the earth as ‘mother’, I see the forest as ‘father’ and have pictured it as solid, grounded, enveloping and protective. These qualities could, of course, be as easily and appropriately applied to females as to males. I’ve thought of the ocean/water as the feminine principle, fluid but likewise enveloping, though again, the sea as a symbol of wisdom and as a life source could as easily describe the male principle. The geisha epitomizes the historical Japanese ideal of feminine beauty (not to suggest that this characterizes women in general, but that it stands for one form of the feminine ideal). I feel that both of these figures radiate a kind of empowerment, and what I see in these panels is just that: human beings empowered by these dual principles working within them.

Spiral (railway)
For the engineering term applying to railway track geometry, see Track transition curve.
Railway layout for steep climbs
A spiral (sometimes called a spiral loop or just loop) is a technique employed by railways to ascend steep hills.
A railway spiral rises on a steady curve until it has completed a loop, passing over itself as it gains height, allowing the railway to gain vertical elevation in a relatively short horizontal distance. It is an alternative to a zig-zag, and avoids the need for the trains to stop and reverse direction while ascending. If the train is longer than the length of each loop it may be possible to view it looping above itself.[1][2]
The term "loop" is also often used for a railway that curves sharply and goes back on itself: if the railway crosses itself, then it forms a spiral or helix; otherwise, it forms the much more common horseshoe curve or bend.[3][4]
