Bandra's Bombay Art Society played host to the launch last week of a unique exhibition, which displayed limited edition artwork made from non-medical grade cane. Conceptualised by the Bengaluru-based sustainable design practice Rise Design Art, the pieces in the exhibition titled 'Inception Exhibit,' are designed by current artist-in-residence and National Institute of Design (NID) alumnus Sanjay Kumar.
The cane used is, in fact, a remnant of the medical-grade cane used to make high-quality and affordable prosthetic legs, which they do under the Rise Design Lab. Founder Arun Cherian explained, "It is still very good cane. It's just that it isn't quite fit to make prosthetic legs.
