Unusual Circumstances is an investigation into the way human society interprets the UFO and alien abduction phenomena. For centuries, mankind has been fascinated and terrified by sightings in the sky and visitations from "otherworldly" creatures. They are gods, weather balloons, faeries, demons, angels, ghosts, hallucinations, and little green men. Since the 1950s, UFOs and space aliens have been the subject of intense research, ridicule, and popular culture. Using various fiber art media, I have designed a body of work that addresses different perspectives of these phenomena.
