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 is best known for wearable art which transforms to meet the changing needs of the eco-future. Her body of work responds with adaptive design solutions intended to survive challenging environments. 

Her work has been exhibited all over the US, including Smack Mellon in Brooklyn, Monte Vista Projects in LA, and at Michigan Tech University, among many others. In addition to exhibitions of her sculptural works, Cori has been the recipient of numerous competitions to create site-specific temporary installations, such the Garner Arts Festival, and the Feverish World conference at the University of Vermont.

She has exhibited independently and with two artist collectives: Bunny Sandwich Collective, and ArtShape Mammoth, before joining Boston Sculptors Gallery in 2020. In addition to her studio practice, Cori is adjunct faculty at Boston Architectural College, in the School of Architecture, and is a program manager at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
