The term "inscape" was coined by poet Gerard Manley Hopkins to reflect his idea that each thing in nature contains an intrinsic imprint, a design that makes it uniquely itself. Anne Shaw's installation presents a series of fourteen microscope slides, each containing a tissue specimen from the human body and an accompanying line of text. As a whole they comprise a visual sequence, a fragmentary sonnet, an unbound book, and a scientific investigation.
