Annabel Tilley, ‘(detail) The second tallest tree in Josef Fritzl’s Garden’, Ink on paper, 2009. Photo: Artist. Courtesy: Artist. My drawings derive from national newspaper stories of murder and abduction. Inspired by a press image of 40 Ybbs Strasse, Amstetten, where Josef Fritzl imprisoned his daughter Elisabeth for 24 years, the crime is so horrendous, so inconceivable, one’s attention is drawn to the mundane – The second tallest tree in Josef Fritzl’s garden. These multiple drawings animate the idea that this tree, seen by the many people who will have walked past the house everyday for 24 years, was unseen by Elisabeth for the 8000 days of her captivity, despite its proximity.
