Cohen Robert Cremean Public & Private Collections	“When the opportunity for creating a book with Brighton Press first presented itself in the early Spring of 1993, I was in the throes of finishing a rather complex assembly of sculpture and drawings entitled The Christopher Whitby Coloring Book. The piece was far enough advanced that I was experiencing that familiar ecstatic desperation that occurs with all endings of intense involvement . . . that hiatus between works however brief when an artist is most undefended and vulnerable.	My first impulse was to reject, or at least put off until some future date, this opportunity with remarks such as, ‘too precious,’ ‘commercial,’ ‘limiting,’ etc., etc. . . . and then Michele used the word ‘pagination’. . . and now, nearly one year later, the book Procrustes Inn Register is the intellectual base for the Procrustes project whose culmination will be a large sculpture which will include the seven pages of Procrustes Inn Register transcribed into a predella. It would seem that the making of this book at this time is a natural sequential pagination of my process as an artist and as a person. It was unavoidable . . .” —Robert Cremean
