Watercolor & Thread Art, Small Original Art. Ready to hang. 12.5 x 12.5 inches.

Fragments of Home #37, Difficult Space, is a watercolor and thread work by Suzanne Gibbs. A tall, house-shaped silhouette sits centered on a vibrant orange ground. The interior of the house is painted in layered washes of deep olive, rust, and dark umber, creating a mottled, atmospheric surface. Horizontal rows of small blue stitches move across the interior like measured lines or quiet interruptions.

The house is framed by a teal watercolor border and a white paper outline secured with visible orange stitching along the edges, emphasizing containment and structure. The contrast between the bright orange background and the darker, complex interior intensifies the sense of pressure within the form. Thread both outlines and penetrates the space, suggesting effort, reinforcement, and the labor of holding a difficult interior together.
