Peter Swift: I am trying to convey the fragility of nature. A small clump of grass, dirt, roots and flowers floats alone in an endless black void.

A circle of dead leaves floats in a black void. Many of my paintings feature circles, because I believe that the human brain has a deep psychological connection to circles.
