Mountain peaks, desert vistas, and sprawling coastlines are scaled down into attainable pieces, allowing manageable interpretation. As a maker and an avid outdoor adventurer, Gerber explores formal techniques from both worlds to help him achieve a better understanding of the space he moves thru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTeam Mandrels- Representing Team - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/danacadesign.com\/pages\/jurors-battle-of-the-rings-2026\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAlex Boyd\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"315\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/GGeK2mAUM80?feature=share\"\u003e\n\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ring is part of Battle of the Rings: Ring Smackdown 2026, an exhibition and online competition.
