about

Since 2018, Caleb and Madelyn have worked under the name Patchwork Canteen. Their projects are built through extended travel, seasonal labor, and long periods spent moving through landscapes.

They began traveling full-time by vehicle, crossing remote regions and public lands across the US. In 2022, long-distance hiking changed way they moved through the world. While distance and duration shape the work, the focus remains on lived experience—daily rhythms, temporary communities, and time spent in unfamiliar places.

Patchwork Canteen is an ongoing documentation of movement and return, examining how place, labor, and intention shape the way a life is lived.
