We're actors, we can't social distance we're actually wrapping ourselves around each other. Because we were shooting our show, and this pandemic is sort of, like, happening around us, and then all of a sudden, it's right in your backyard. We were also one of the first shows to shut down. Because as a producer of and being in that position, the health and protection of your cast and crew is number one. And the pandemic, I think, allowed us to sort of take a pause that none of us have taken, and really sort of sit with ourselves and take inventory on what really is important, what matters, what doesn't really matter, and let the little things sort of slide away that don't warrant the attention that we've been giving them.Īnd I have to say, going back to work during the pandemic was very stressful. I was on such a, like, a hamster wheel of, wake up, have your coffee, get into the gym-it was just this rigorous routine, and then I'd have to get to work on time. Well, everything kind of changed during the pandemic, our perspective changed. How did your routine change during the pandemic? I didn't sweat today." I think that's really important. You know, that's the main thing I just try to do is just always listen to your body and not punish yourself, like, "Oh, I didn't get this in. So I kind of allowed myself an extra little bit of sleep. But Lisa and Courteney came over last night, so we were gabbing until late. I did not work out today, which I usually do.

Mayer is currently at work on a few large-scale reliefs, a kinetic lotus, skull, and additional birds, and you can follow updates and news about purchasing pieces on his Instagram. Mayer builds every piece solely from original parts rather than soldering or gluing, and some sculptures, including the black crow with a Corona-brand typewriter logo on its back, feature spring-like components that allow the creatures to bob their heads. His previous works include symmetrical assemblages, anatomical recreations, and an ongoing series of birds, the most recent of which are shown here. The artist scours shops and trash bins near his Bay Area studio for analog processors in disrepair that he then disassembles, sorts, and reconstructs into metallic sculptures. Jeremy Mayer challenges the notion that typewriters’ creative output is confined to the written word. ![]() All images © Jeremy Mayer, shared with permission
