泥土隨著時間沉澱，蘊含各式元素，在不同地域展現各種迷人的色彩。
我們選用《有時》為題，偏愛兩字的一詞多義。「有時」可理解作有時候、偶爾、沒指向性的片刻，例如創作者在偶然遇上靈感的一剎那；傳道書載：「凡事都有定期、天下萬務都有定時。 生有時、死有時、 栽種有時、拔出所栽種的、也有時。」，道出對定數與未知的態度，也包含了對過去、現在、未來這時間觀念的保存、肯定與想望。造陶者都有借助泥土成形為時間記錄的想像。《有時》像是一次駐足回望；一輯定格的攝影；還是一念當時的選擇？
是次展覽是 AVA 成立十六年以來首屆籌辦的陶瓷聯展，集合了37位參展人, 包括5位教職員及32位在陶瓷範疇持續發展的畢業生。藉由創作者以陶泥表達對時間的詮釋，並以各自方式表達意念，呈現作品的對話。

This is the first Ceramics exhibition presented as a retrospective and related to happenings from the Academy of Visual Arts, since its establishment 16 years ago. It presents 37 exhibitors, including 32 alumni and 5 teaching staff, who have continued their artistic practice within ceramics.
‘a Time’ is the theme of this exhibition. It collects various minerals and elements through sedimentation, and shows specific characteristics at different regions. It can be interpreted as “sometimes”, “once in a while” or reference a non-specific time frame, perhaps as a glimpse into an artist’s thoughts. In Ecclesiastes in the Bible it states, “A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted”, referring our demeanour towards the inconstancy and the unknown in our life, the reservation of the past, the affirmation of the present, and the aspiration towards the future. Ceramicists manifest their imagination through the formation of clay. In this exhibition, the exhibitors attempt to articulate their interpretation and perception and open up a dialogue about ‘time’ through their creations with clay. This exhibition represents a reflection of the past, a snapshot of a moment, and an interpretation of when a decision is made.
