Creativity often involves acting upon or extending our heroes, inspirations and influences. So, where we engage in any process of ‘following-up,’ we may be characterised as ‘sequelists.’

 

However, to be regarded a ‘prequelist,’ we need to exercise detachment and difference that will allow us to escape our revered sources, references and places of persuasion in order to find creative discrepancy elsewhere.
