AH: You´ve been called a Conceptual artist. But Dennis, what does that really mean?

DO: My work comes from an idea, and therein lies its conceptual aspect. But it´s not the only root. You know, concepts always seem to be cerebral activities, located in the mind. But why not locate them in the stomach, the gut? Much of my work come from the "eye of the gut". It´s not mental, not visual, but somewhere in between.
