Poet & multi-media artist Anne Shaw's installation Inscape examines the human body and our relationship to our bodies and how that knowledge, flawed as that knowledge imay be informs our relationship with with others as bodies, as persons.
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.
