Lapis on Chalk Cloth

Standalone nonfigurative textile artwork, 4:5 portrait, edge-to-edge flat fabric detail viewed directly overhead. One elongated, irregular lapis-blue dye bloom sits right of center, occupying roughly half the image height, with a blunt upper end and softly narrowing base. Its deep blue interior grades continuously into pale mineral blue; uneven capillary feathering and a milky, damp-looking perimeter suggest thawing softness without depicting snow. Chalk-white matte cotton fills the surrounding frame, especially the broad left margin. A restrained woven texture remains visible beneath the pigment, never becoming a dominant pattern. Flat, uncreased cloth; no folds, seams, borders or separate objects. Broad diffuse light, low relief, polished textile-scan finish. Deliberate asymmetry, one clear focal shape, quiet tonal transitions. No text, logos, watermarks, people, rooms or mockups.
