tell us about chartruisa...

chartruisa (char for short) is your local representative of monochromania — the chartreuse sect. drenched in a world of only chartreuse, char is hypersensitive to touch but moves at a glacial pace. she newly seeks love in the earthly realm taking the stage to share her neurotic erotica as monochrome monologues.

what inspired this project?

mountain dew doritos, gack, if cher did asmr, lesbians, my queer lesbianess, lilith from cheers, sexual misreads, sexual misreads from others to me, soup, slow burns, late-blooming, hot subway benches, mouth exercises, jello, stone undertones, body brushing

the color chartreuse is the color of my queer ~~ mesmerizing but underlying rotten, greasy, ugly. a bright yellow mixed with a tad of jet black (that’s mx dye terms in case you want to try it on cotton).
