This book is a visual representation of some of the work done in terracotta by Himmat Shah. The sculptures presented in this book are without any description, title or size, leaving it to the viewers to experience the creativity of the art forms. This is a limited edition book of 1000 copies, each having a terracotta disk individually signed by the artist himself, making each book unique and a collector’s item. The artist has shared his varied explorations and experiences of his journey through this medium; hence some of the old images and negatives even though inconsistent in quality have been used. He has dedicated this book to his architect friend Ramu Katakam who inspired and persuaded him to publish a lifetime of creativity. The artist invites viewer reflections on his explorations in terracotta at www.himmatshah.com
