Clothing is our first home. It projects identity, produces comfort, offers protection. As the world imposes more and constant change, I create clothing for conditions no longer comfortably futuristic. Garments convert to shelters; clothing anticipates climate issues. What can be worn can become the architecture of sanctuary.
Cori Champagne’s clothing and installations have been exhibited all over the US; both as an independent artist, and in collaboration with the artist groups Bunny Sandwich Collective, and ArtShape Mammoth. Bunny Sandwich Collective was a recipient of grants from The Puffin Foundation and The Barbara Deming Fund for their “American Nomads” project.
Currently, Cori is a member of Boston Sculptors Gallery, and continuing to be creative with tents and clothing. In addition to her studio practice, Cori is adjunct faculty at Boston Architectural College, in the School of Architecture, and a program administrator at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
