On May 5, 1995, the New York Times detailed Zoe Leonard's studio show, annexed by the Paula Cooper Gallery, in an article by Holland Cotter:
"Scattered in corners and across shelves and window sills are dozens of dried fruit skins, each torn apart and painstakingly pieced together again with thread, zippers and buttons. Photographs hang here and there: a woman's scarred torso, a scarecrow hanging from a tree and phrases scrawled across bathroom walls and city buildings....The sewn fruit skins are dedicated to the memory of the artist David Wojnarowicz..."
July 21, 1995 saw the USA release of Postcards from America, a movie inspired by the work and writings of Wojnarowicz.
Leonard's 2008 show at Dia:Beacon featured over 4000 postcards of Niagara Falls.
