They said it would go way in five years, then they said ten, its been eighteen years now. It seemed to be getting better and then it started getting worse since last month. Now I don't have any finger prints on my left hand much to the consternation of the immigration authorities hehe.
I don't mind most of the time. I think of it as a balance. My skin condition balances the positive gift of being able to experience the magic of being able to draw and paint etc. And there are other people who are a LOT worse of than me.
But then it gets frustrating sometimes. This picture for example. [taken while I was waiting at the Bangalore airport departure lounge] It doesn't look the way I wanted it to because half the skin on my hand is missing.
Now its got a sense of decay to it.
Fernando Hernández, a Hayward-based educator and artist, has exhibited surrealist mixed media sculptures throughout the Western states. In association with the East Bay Big Read of Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me, Ultima, Fernando Hernández demonstrated bronze casting techniques at the Hayward Main Library on April 17, 2010. The Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Institute for Museum and Library Services in partnership with Arts Midwest.
Fernando Hernández was born in Mexico City in 1968, and he lived in Mexico until he immigrated to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1984. 1984 is also when he first started making art in a serious manner. He has been a resident of Hayward since 1986.
Fernando Hernández received his MFA from Washington State University in Pullman in 1996 and taught ceramics at California State University until 1998, when he quit to become a freelance sculptor and educator. His mixed media sculptures, consisting of odd, surreal juxtapositions of symbolically charged elements with veiled references to genetics and science have been exhibited throughout the West Coast.
In 1998 he was awarded an Artist in Residency from the California Arts Council. He started working as an educator in local high schools teaching bronze casting and installation workshops. He has continued this work to the present day, often working through grants and in collaboration with local art organizations.
After the residency was over in 2001 he resumed his teaching career by becoming a part-time visiting lecturer teaching sculpture at Diablo Valley College. He currently teaches sculpture at Chabot College.
Starting in 1998 he redirected his artistic efforts towards installation work, often working in collaboration with other artists, students and community groups. The installations, relatively small at the beginning, became more complex over the years. His current and ongoing installation project is called The Columbarium. It is a collaborative project that involves dozens of artists and hundreds of high school and elementary school students.
Originally meant to be a one-time exhibit, Fernando Hernández and collaborating artists have evolved and exhibited The Columbarium more than six times. Although the number of participants and membership of the project fluctuates, it could be said that most participants in any given year have participated in the past. Because of this a small community of friends has evolved that come together seasonally to set up the installation. In 2002 he named this group the East Bay Art Collaborative.

Musee de l'histoire de l'immigration
The Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration is a museum of immigration history located in the 12th arrondissement of Paris at 293, avenue Daumesnil, Paris, France. The nearest métro station is Porte Dorée. It is open daily except Monday; an admission fee is charged.
Museum is housed in former The Paris Colonial Exhibition (or "Exposition coloniale internationale", International Colonial Exhibition) was a six-month colonial exhibition held in Paris, France in 1931 that attempted to display the diverse cultures and immense resources of France's colonial possessions.
The new museum was conceived in 1989 by Algerian immigrant Zaïr Kedadouche, supported initially by historians including Pierre Milza and Gérard Noiriel, and established by President Jacques Chirac with a mission to "contribute to the recognition of the integration of immigrants into French society and advance the views and attitudes on immigration in France". It opened without public ceremony in late 2007 under his successor, President Nicolas Sarkozy, amid political controversy in which eight of the twelve academics involved in the project resigned.
The museum occupies the Palais de la Porte Dorée, formerly the home of the Musée national des Arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie, on the edge of the Bois de Vincennes. It contains over 1100 m² of exhibition space devoted primarily to the history and culture of immigration in France from the early nineteenth century to the present. A permanent installation, "Benchmarks", contains interactive exhibits presenting immigrant stories in multimedia form. The museum's collections are organized by three main themes: images including photography by Eugène Atget, Gérald Bloncourt, Robert Capa, Yves Jackson, Jean Jacques Pottier, etc., as well as prints, posters, drawings press, cartoons, comic books, audiovisual materials; objects of daily life; and works of art concerning immigration, territory, borders, and roots.
