NZ Words and Art
Tuesday, August 21, 2007 by Erin
Ben Zimmer is much more caught up in his reading than I am, so he spotted first (in NZ Words) this information about the artist John Reynolds and his piece of lexical art, Cloud:
The piece, which was installed at the 2006 Biennale of Sydney, is made of about 7000 mini-canvases, each bearing a word of New Zealand English.
More information about the work is here, but, warning: Flash-heavy site.
If you are interested in NZ English, you probably want your own subscription to NZ Words, the publication of the NZ Dictionary Centre. You can read back issues in PDF or subscribe here.
