When Gurjeet first came to the gallery in Mumbai, he was quite shy and introverted compared to his now outgoing and bubbly nature. In his first few days in Mumbai, the gallery team took him to Magaldas Market to source fabrics, an experience which made Gurjeet feel like he was a child let loose in a candy store. However, we later decided to follow a more sustainable and cost-effective route to procure the raw material for his sculptures, which was to launch an open call, asking people to share any spare fabrics they might have for Gurjeet to use as part of his work.

The response received was overwhelming. Many people poured into the space with fabrics they no longer had use for, but still had some emotional attachment to, or with heirlooms passed down from their grandmothers, and among these were also designers who dropped in with fabrics that had meaning to them. Through the course of the residency, Gurjeet wove together stories from various people's fabrics into beautiful pieces.

All through the months of the residency, Gurjeet became a magnet, attracting several visitors to come see him create works and share stories with him, sparking a genuine interest in him and his works. The buzz around him truly blew up when several media publications featured editorial shoots of him in the studio, in his element, working.
