I'm convinced that adding ice to any sort of art is a good idea and this frozen clothes exhibit is the only proof I need. Artist Nicole Dextras takes various outfits and freezes them in a block of ice and then photographs them to create some stellar artwork.
The outfits vary a lot, which is one of the best parts of the exhibit. Clothes of different season, style, gender and even generation are all frozen and put on display.
Thinking about the project itself, this is a pretty multi-faceted piece of art. First you have the choosing of the styles and clothes. If that was photographed alone it could be a piece of modern art but that doesn't even count the lighting placement and, of course, the big blocks of ice.
