Kondō Takahiro integrates the technique of cast glass into the art of ceramics by creating "silver mist" droplets—using a paint mix that contains gold, silver, platinum, and other metals—and applying them to the surface of his works. Green Mist is one of the tallest, simplest, and most sophisticated forms made in the artist’s so-called silver mist technique. Takahiro drew inspiration from his travels to the Orkney Islands in Scotland, where he visited the Ring of Brodgar, a large, five-thousand-year-old circle of stone monoliths. Tall, majestic, and covered in dew and ice, the dilapidated structures rose from the mist and inspired Takahiro’s series Orkney Islands, depicting the monoliths that bridge land and sky.
