Natasha Boycko - works featured at Our Hillside office.

Natasha Boycko (b. 1998, Helsinki, Finland) is an artist from Moscow, Russia, currently living and working in New York. She holds a BA in Visual Art and Philosophy from Brown University (2021) and an MFA in Textiles from Parsons School of Design (2023). Boycko’s work investigates concrete as a post-Soviet artifact—an emblem of both monumental strength and inherent fragility. Through her practice, she engages with the material and cultural remnants of a violent past, where concrete, as a physical structure, mirrors the contradictions of a political system: visibly strong, yet fundamentally unstable. Her exploration delves into contrasts: concrete, perceived as solid, reveals its fragility, while thread—seemingly delicate—embodies resilience. This duality informs her recollections of the Shukhov towers in Russia. Once symbols of a prosperous Soviet future, by the time of her childhood these structures came to represent a dark Soviet past.
