About Me
Fields of Blank is a newsletter from Jordan Westfall — hey, that’s me! I’m a writer, designer, sister, bibliophile, and indulgent friend. My creative work blends sleepover magic with humor, 90s/00s aesthetics, memories, and a persistent thrum of curiosity.
I like to believe my creative career really debuted in 2nd grade when I brought my Girl Scout troop to hysterical tears through sharing a detailed drawing of a funeral. Parents were called, snacks forgotten, and my love for storytelling was ignited.
About Fields of Blank
I like to think of “blank” as the beginning of everything. It is the moment before being overcome by senses, thoughts, dreams, and fears. I’m imagining a comfy cocoon of static white noise or an open window looking out over fields of nothing.
Traditionally “blank” refers to being bare, plain, and empty. A moment of no reaction. It can be an artist staring down the blank canvas, a student greeted with a blank sheet of paper, or a writer looking at the glow of the screen.
My newsletter focuses on the collection of material found in the present and the past to weave together a written + visual meditation on creating and being. I’m collecting the little bits that float through to me from my timeline. Here you will find a collection of essays, diary entries, illustrations, lists, and questions with the purpose of creating a trail to follow through the blank landscape of the future. Here anything is possible as long as we choose to try.
