From a review of the "looking Backward" exhibit:

"Worthy's depictions of us at our most vulnerable "nude" are timeless. They often incorporate nature themes "a nude woman resting on a wild jumble of rocks, for instance. And while there's nothing pornographic about it, there is a simple beauty to both the subject and her setting that defines passion better than the most graphic modern concept of sensuality."
