Tallichet references the postmodern theoretical debate on the value of the copy versus the original. She uses precious looking materials to reveal the distance between reality and nostalgic memory. On her website, Tallichet explains:
“All these images come from my childhood, a childhood so ‘ordinary’ and American that I have a hard time distinguishing personal memories from the primordial cultural soup that spawned them…. The cheesy wagon wheel for me is equal parts romantic lost west and tacky entertainment….”

Tallichet earned an MFA in Sculpture in 1983 at the University of Montana in Missoula, and she currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
