This image shows two definitions on a blue background. One defines "snow" as frozen atmospheric vapor and a small sailing ship. The other defines "bark" as tree rind and a type of vessel. The text is printed in black, simple typewriter-style letters. The definitions play with old meanings of words. "Snow" used to mean a ship, and "bark" once described a small sailing vessel. The words are rearranged to surprise you. Look up Ian Hamilton Finlay, Ron Costley next to see more word-based art tricks.
