Meyer’s work is influenced by experimental communities, expressing how “they epitomize our best instincts, and our more questionable ones, colliding.” An example of this is Drop City, an early (1965) commune in Trinidad, Colorado. At the trash yard, Droppers would use axes to cut out car hoods for their geodesic domes. Given a Dymaxion Award by Buckminster Fuller in 1967, Drop City was abandoned by the early 1970s. The architectonic, psychedelic structure of Meyer's recent piece, Plinth, makes reference to Drop City’s domes.
