Yallourn is Danny McDonald’s boyhood home. In his art works he uses personal symbols to talk about mankind and the environment. In Mulloway Math of It, rising collage clouds come from one dimensional chimneys creating pollution and damaging our world. There are also symbolic images along the top of the landscape – are they rising or falling? What could they mean?
