It is Sunday and I am making paper pulp
welcomewelcomewelcome
Hello! Welcome to It Is Sunday. Today is Sunday and I have spent the morning peeling carrots and dropping them into a jar of water for safe keeping. For lunch I ate mismatched pasta from the bottom of multiple boxes that had simmered in homemade bone broth with carrots, celery, parsley, and crusty sourdough. I’ll attach a picture.
This is a photo of two bowls of pasta, carrots, and celery simmered in homemade bone broth arranged with parsley, shredded parm, freshly ground pepper, and crusty sourdough bread.
I appreciate you popping in to what I hope will become a weekly newsletter. Here, I will talk about the food I’m eating, the art I am looking at and the art I am making, and the ways in which I am working to live a life filled with community artmaking, moments of calm, and moments of action through the lens of anti-capitalist ideals.
My name is Liah Bean (They/Them) and I am a painter, ceramicist, and community organizer based out of Queens, New York. I experiment with any materials I can get my hands on. I run free and donation-based art workshops in my neighborhood. I love horror and family folklore, paper clay, and sugar. I used to take myself very seriously but I don’t anymore. If you are a cop or a capitalist this is not a space for you. Okay, love you, bye, I’m going to make some paper pulp.
