Commentary by Dennis Massa on the "Perfect World " ...............
Marooned / "Perfect World " a commentary by Dennis Massa
regarding Gregory Singer Art Work " Marooned" :
my "gut" feeling is the " marooned " is the perfect fit.
it is your literal self portrait. on the surface, literally marooned on an island (NYC) and isolated.
then the deeper meaning is the man is a christ figure, the palm tree is the cross,
he must bear, the waiting boat is coming soon, to transport him to
his home beyond the "sun" . he is clutching his arms bare, isolated, alone,
hoping for a "perfect world" . caught between the makeshift
little grass hut behind him ( our fragile little abodes we live in regular life),...............
and the boat, which promises to transport us anywhere we want, but only keeps us
hypnotized from seeing the Real "I", as the marooned man looks to the SUN for hope and answers.
Interesting the Palm tree barely has enough leaves, and there are no coconuts.
The marooned man is die-in psychologically and there is no food or nourishment to keep him going. He feels tortured by LIFE.
The 2 thieves of Life :
He seeks to leave the fragile shelter ( grass hut, Thief # 1 Illusion) that he built
for himself, and yet looks to the sun / outer external world for an answer.
The waiting ship is coming soon (thief # 2 illusion ) .
It is the age old christ figure caught between the 2 thieves on the cross, and
the Christ says " Father why has thou art forsaken me", please let this cup pass from me. And the Christ hanging ( palm tree ) between the 2 thieves ( fragile hut and boat) , knows he must die and move on, to complete his journey , the combining of his male and female nature. finding and uniting the balance within himself.
The stark naked Island, offers him no sustenance, no nourishment ( internal knowledge ) . He must leave the Island to be fully nourished and return to himself.
Your art is also similar to a seesaw or pendulum, caught by LIFE, the marooned
person, gets a little "SHADE " from the small Palm tree. This small shade is all he
gets from life, and the marooned man desires more full shade ( knowledge of life) and desires to be reunited with his Father who is envisioned in the SUN, .........
Hypnotized by Life:
The marooned man is not aware of the coming boat, and he is always looking away.
the two thieves are the grass Hut and the coming boat. This is the Illusion of this Life. and why he always looks away.......
If we build our little grass huts, and have boats to take us away anywhere and to keep us hypnotized by Life, we think this will save us. the best laid plans go to waste.
and the marooned man, knows there is more to Life, and yearns to be united
with his father . He looks to the SUN, for Hope and Meaning.........He then comes to himself and becomes ONE.
