Analogue - My Thread

So I have been looking to add a bit more meaning into the thread that I use for sewing my images together. The idea of finding an old jumper and unraveling it had been been in the back of my mind, but I hadn't given the idea too much thought. However, as we were clearing out our loft over the chirstmas break, I happened upon a bag of baby knitwear. This was not only worn by me and, strangely enough, my brother, but it was all knitted by both of my grandmothers. The clothes have absorbed the unique smell of my home over the years they have been stored here, and, although it might not be immediately obvious, I think the story behind where I got the thread from will bring a whole new dimension to the piece. This could become particularly potent when potentially juxtaposed against the images of my university room, 200 miles away from the place I was brought up.
Please forgive the quality of these iSight photos...
