I just found this! These are by Sam Winston, and are just lovely. In the pieces shown below he uses different techniques; printing, the other, collage and drawing.
Collage is not something that had crossed my mind for this project before, but is something that I might now consider working with.

" I initially separated the text of these two books into nouns verbs, adjectives & other. I wanted to present a visual map of how a scientist and a poet use language – a look at how much each author used real world names (Nouns) and more abstract terminology (Verb, Adjective and Other) in their writings."

"Once I had a count of the 153535 words used in Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, I set about drawing a dot for every word... 4H pencil was used to represent the 50567 words which were categorized as ‘Other. 2H pencil was used to represent the 38266 words which were categorized as ‘Noun’. HB pencil was used to represent the 26 435 words which were categorized as ‘Verb’. 4B pencil was used to represent the 38266 words which were categorized as ‘Adjective’"
