"The Bean"

Before starting, Kamen experimented with three ping pong balls. A rainy day towards the
beginning of the Festival gave him the idea that beans must grow well in Wales, so he has
created this triple seeded bean pod with its twisted, organic shape. He has never worked in
redwood before and is fascinated by the multi-coloured effect it gives. He'll finish by polishing
it to give a natural sheen.
