Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812
Spring 2026
These renderings started out as fabric analog collages. Then they were put into photoshop and refined. Printed on Bristol paper and inked/gold leafed ontop.
“Chandeliers and caviar, the war can’t touch us here”
The comet’s approach heralds a seismic shift. Unstoppable inertia re-baptizes Pierre and Natasha. Helene and Anatole are in the throws of violent passion violent. Euphoric madness consumes all.
Glittering seducing parties evolve into something more real. Raw and ugly. Wolves surround our characters. The ensemble is hungry. The action can-not be stopped. The comet is eternal.
Costumes communicate the period through silhouette. Characters are explored through color and texture. The ensemble will assist in setting the tone for the changing landscapes. They are a etherial entity which can be human or sculpture.
