For the April 2010 issue's “Dwell Reports”, however, Laramie was asked to fill nine planters with botanicals made entirely of paper. After studying a vintage illustrated encyclopedia of houseplants, he abstracted and handcrafted over 20 varieties of flora made up of hundreds of individual pieces, no two being exactly alike.
