"Made of steel, aluminum and red Venetian glass, Device to Root out Evil represents a country church that appears to have been lifted up and thrust downward with such force that its steeple sticks in the ground and holds the rest of the building aloft.
The inverse position of the church has been interpreted as blasphemous by some viewers and this has given the work a reputation for being provocative. The artist has said he did not have this intention in mind when he made the work."
