Fernando has been researching the introduction of bird species for a few years. This was the focus of his Master of Fine Arts at Parsons School of Design in New York, where he entered into an ongoing research partnership with the Brooklyn Museum investigating the archival documentation of their own introduction of house sparrows in 1867. In November–December Fernando will be presenting The Colours of Federation, a major installation at Artspace, Sydney. This project explores the introduction of laughing kookaburras into Tasmania between 1880–1910 as a nationalistic gesture. This is being presented as part of the NSW Emerging Visual Arts Fellowship which Fernando is a finalist of this year. We wish Fernando the best for this award!
