A mesh-like almost square made from a chain of green unroasted coffee beans is woven like a fabric, over and under, through another chain of brown roasted coffee beans. The beans are drilled with tiny holes in their center and they fit together in pairs like beads. The beans are connected on the metal chains by loops of golden brass. 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.
