Fragments of Home #39, My Bubble, is a layered watercolor and stitched paper work by Suzanne Gibbs. A simplified house shape in muted blue, teal, and gold washes sits centered on an olive green square, which is mounted on a larger sheet of white handmade paper with deckled edges.

The house form is outlined by layered paper edges, creating subtle shadow and dimensionality. Pale blue stitched circles of varying sizes overlap and extend beyond the house, some partially cropped by the edges of the composition. These looping, bubble-like forms float across the surface, crossing boundaries between interior and exterior space.

The stitched circles suggest containment, protection, and personal atmosphere—an emotional perimeter surrounding the structure of home. The interplay of layered paper, watercolor texture, and hand stitching reinforces the sense of shelter held within a fragile, permeable boundary.
