我們第一位作訪談的藝術家是陳翹康。他多元的工作及學習背景，令他能以非傳統陶藝的方式創作。以作品《明鏡》及《無相》為例，他既在陶瓷為主的媒介中加入新媒體等元素，亦能從陶泥及相關物料的歷史與來源出發，以當代藝術的論述方式呈現陶藝的可見/不可見元素。他抱著開放的態度，嘗試打破陶瓷創作的限制，同時在作品中保留著物料的特性，每件作品背後有著他長時間的研究及經驗所累積的成果。

訪問中他談及到陶瓷的本質：「陶瓷是人類進入文明後的其中一種首先掌握的物料，它有著宏大的歷史，當中有好多東西可以繼續發掘⋯⋯」

Joe Chan Kiu Hong is the first artist we interviewed. His diverse career and academic background inspired him to adopt an unconventional approach with mixed media in his own practice. Using his work “Ming Jing” and “Mo Soeng” as examples, he takes the history of ceramics and the origin of raw materials into account. Not only did he embed new media in ceramics art, but he also conveys both the visible and invisible contexts of clay using the contemporary expression. With his open-minded attitude, he attempts to go beyond the boundary of traditional ceramics art, while retaining the characteristics of materiality. His works are thus the manifestations of enduring research and accumulated experience in studio experiments.

During the interview, he mentioned the essence of ceramics: “Ceramics is one of the first materials mastered by humans since civilization. It contains an immense history in which many intriguing stories could be explored…”
