Look down from above the Great Plains and giant circles appear across the fields. Those enormous patterns across farmland support between one-fifth and one-third of America’s agriculture. In “Every Body a Water Body, Every Field a Clock,” Lisa Woods follows the water of the Ogallala Aquifer through agriculture, technology, and human bodies. Her kinetic sculpture, ceramics, and video turn irrigation machinery and groundwater into something strange and animate, asking us to see water not simply as a resource, but as something we live with, depend on, and carry within us. – Maryam Muliaee
