The Thief of Time opens on Friday, October 13, 2006 and runs until Saturday, October 28 at Wallack Galleries, 203 Bank Street in downtown Ottawa, Canada.

Included in the exhibition is Jennifer Dickson's most recent portfolio, The Gods, which deals with the love affair of the Roman emperor Hadrian and a beautiful young Bithynian, Antinous. The narrative is evoked by images of late Roman statuary photographed by Dickson in museums in Turkey, Spain and England.

A second major body of work, Time is the Thief of Time, captures stolen moments of beauty in historic gardens, largely in England and Wales. We see sweeping vistas in which clouds move over Snowdonia and more intimate moments in spring gardens where fountains play musically. Dickson's more recent explorations of the Islamic gardens of Morocco and Spain (the prototype for many renaissance gardens) round out the exhibition.

The Thief of Time marks Dickson's 70th birthday, and celebrates her 30-year collaboration with Wallack Galleries.
