iconoclasts

Iconoclasts deliberately destroy religioous icons with some kind of religious or political motive. Orlan was an iconoclast when she dressed as st. theresa and turned her into a sexual figure, dancing with crosses that were not always upright. Orlan was an extreme feminist so her art was done with a feminist statement of the way women were viewed and used in cultures and religions.
