Detroit Ice House

Artists Greggory Holm and Matthew Radune covered an abandoned house in ice to draw attention to the nation's housing crisis. They picked the house, which had been up for demolition, from Detroit's land bank. In return, they agreed to pay the back taxes on another foreclosed house so that a Detroit woman could move in. They have since finished their project and have stopped icing the house, but Trish and managed to visit the house before the sun took too much away.

To learn more about the project or to see amazing photos of the house fully iced, visit these sites: http://icehousedetroit.blogspot.com/ & Detroit News
