Miles Neidinger has just put out another work that is actually really cool! It's entirely made of straws and ropes. He name it "The Anatomy of the Palace of Wisdom."  People and critics have said "it comes close to showing us, the place of wisdom, glimpsed in the William Blake poem. Neidinger references "The Marriage of Heaven & Hell."  Neidinger comments of a quote, which says "the road of excess leads to the place of wisdom." This quote seems like a simple comment at a first glance, but if you really sit down and think about it you can see that is has deep undertones about humanity and what we see as important. If you think about it the quote basically means that if we consume an excess, or large amount, of something, we reach a place of wisdom on whatever it is we consume the most.

Let me break this down in an example that relates to me.  I consume a lot of drumsticks.  After years and years of playing drums, I've gone through countless drumsticks. Also after all this time using drumsticks, I've come to a place of wisdom, when it comes to drumsticks.  I know all about drumsticks. For example, if I was to say I use "5bnx sticks" any person who doesn't play drums wouldn't understand what I was saying.

So say if your a girl and you use a lot of make-up.  After consuming so much make-up you are and expert about all the make-up you use.

Yeah consumption.
