Hannah Boruchov

Hannah Boruchov is based in Brooklyn, NY with a textile and mixed media practice that explores the intersection of complex systems and organic form. With a background in mechanical engineering, she approaches art making through the lens of interdependent systems where simplistic individual elements create something larger through their entwined relationships.

Working with yarn and metal, she builds slowly, coaxing thread into what may become abstracted forms and suspended structures that reach toward impossibility. Wire, which is meant to conduct, to hold rigid, becomes soft and yielding. Yarn, associated with domesticity and the handmade, strains toward industrial precision and architectural form. Each material refuses its traditional purpose, creating tension between what something is and what it desires to become.

Yarn is a material historically associated with domesticity and traditional craft, and redefines its role in contemporary art through taking on the form of soft sculpture. Inspired by electron orbitals and gravitational waves, Boruchov's work considers how bodies influence one another through proximity and exchange. Each piece is a meditation on interdependence: a reminder that stability emerges not from isolation, but from the delicate balance of mutual support.
