An androgynous figure dressed as an American cowboy will drag two plaster casts of western saddles along the parade route. The plaster casts are not painted, but left white. The cowboy will pull them using a heavy, lasso-like rope.

Saddledrag results in a long parallel-line drawing. “For this work, the artist dressed as a cowboy, and pulled a cast-plaster saddle for the duration of a public parade route, which was choreographed by artist Fritz Haeg and entitled, East Meets West Interchange Overpass Parade. As the parade proceeded, Campbell left a long double line behind, eventually fully eroding the plaster saddle. The artist stated she hopes “to critique both the construct of the American cowboys, as well as nostalgia for a romantic past that never existed.” The ephemeral nature of the line left behind through the labor of walking and plaster dust helps underscore the disappearance of that nonexistent romantic past.” – Ellen Mueller.
