Koans are about relating the parts to the whole. This is a continuous theme in my work. Koan is a Japanese word for a paradoxical riddle given to young Buddhist monks as aids for meditation. A typical Koan would be What is the Sound of One Hand Clapping? I used this as the title for a fiIm I made in 1975 about the Koan series of my work.
