Schema for a New Grid System takes as its departure point visual ideas about the way gravity lines may wrap around small curved dimensions (other than the four of space-time). I cut 3-d cylindrical grid patterns into an A3 pad of graph paper to observe the way that the graph lines printed on each sheet wrap themselves around these. The illusion is of a single printed graph grid which curves itself around the sculptural shapes embedded in the pad. Each page of the pad was minutely cut by hand, using fresh scalpels and working to a 0.1-0.2mm degree of accuracy. It was created over the space of about a year and became an exercise in precision. For example, I discovered that the manufacturer's printed grid pattern on any page can at times be up to 2mm offset from the previous page. So, when I finished cutting I dismembered the pad, realigned the pages to the same precision as the cuts, and the rebound the pad, using the original gum strip. The finished object was shown at 'Fresh Air Machine' at Calvert 22 in 2008, on a 1.4m plinth with an A3 cross-section. It is currently kept in an archival box in a private collection.

Born Bulgaria 1978. Lives and works in London, UK. Iavor Lubomirov's work is a hind-sight and sideways view of time. His fragile paper sculptures are finely scalpel-cut over long periods using laborious 3-D hand-printing processes. The resulting objects are both animate and static and give in solid form a glimpse into the wholeness of time.
