I spent two months living in Joshua Tree following artist Tom Jean Webb as he prepared for his solo show 'Tomorrow's Flames Are Already Burning' at the DEN Gallery in Austin, Texas in early 2015. Influenced from the surrounding landscape, this film represents some of the inspiration behind his exhibition.
Director: Dan Sadgrove
Sound: Morgan Johnson at Barking Owl Sound
Color: Houmam Abdullah at Electric Theatre
Narration: Amber Webber from Black Mountain / Lightning Dust.
Special thanks to Dan & Kate O'Connell for letting me use their camera and allowing us stay at their house in Joshua Tree for a few hot wintry desert months, Heather Williamson for her help and the generous time of everyone involved in creating this.

I asked the coyote if he was afraid
On the sun baked highway run
His creeping shadow grew
And darkened the falling sun
Who lit the flame
Asks the man each night
That the wind couldnt put out
When the sun burned its last light
Amongst the cactus trees
Time struggles in the sand
With no soil for seeds
But the snakes rattling hand
Meet me in the highway
Under the silver moon
You'll hear the trembling bones
Of the dead mans croon
And the ground shakes and howls
As the sun comes back around
The coyote lies quick still
As his shadow shrinks back down
Now he walks alone
And wanders if he was afraid
Towards the silent warmth of light
Amongst the desert decay
