A mesh-like almost square made from a chain of green unroasted coffee beans woven like a fabric over and under through another chain of brown roasted coffee beans. The beans fit together in pairs and are connected by tiny loops of golden brass that go through the center of the beans like beads. Here I hold the piece in my hand, open palm face up, as the beads bunch together and the flexible mesh forms to my hand.
