The paintings of Shawn Camp explore human need to seek out order from disorder. When seen from above, the landscape becomes a tapestry of interweaving influences between nature and the marks carved upon it by humanity. These marks codify sections of terrain, delineate boundaries of ownership, and facilitate our use of the land. Seeing the universe as ordered offers a certain amount of meaning and gives us the sense that we are being taken care of. It is human nature to find order whether it exists or not, and the marked landscape as seen from above becomes a metaphor for that human tendency.
