Slough Creek is a tributary of the Lamar River, approximately 25 mi (40 km) long, running through Montana and Wyoming in the United States. It rises in southern Montana, in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness in the Beartooth Mountains, and flows southwest, into Yellowstone National Park and into Wyoming. It discharges to the Lamar River near Tower junction within Yellowstone National Park. In turn the Lamar River forms a confluence with the Yellowstone River inside of Yellowstone National Park.
​​
This body of work was created in the same fashion as the Ahkio Drawings, which entailed creating a series of drawings through the use of a drawing apparatus pulled in a Paris Expedition sledge. The expedition sled was constructed for traveling and conveying equipment over snow, ice and rough ground. Drawings were completed each day while pulling the sledge on an out and back style trip along Slough Creek drainage over the course of six consecutive days.
