I create custom fibre art and large-scale custom works that tell meaningful stories and elevate spaces.
Each piece is carefully crafted using traditional and modern weaving and macrame techniques. I use a variety of fibres including recycled yarn, wool, sari silks, organic cotton and plant fibers.
My work also explores installations, interactive pieces, and immersive experiences

I am intrigued by how fibre can enhance our human experience and help us return to what is essential. Texture, rich colours, and movement are elements we have lost in our ever-growing digital society. I believe that bringing these natural materials back into our living space will reignite and nurture our collective creativity.
Are you looking to experiment or create something? I’m up for the challenge!
About Me
My name is Laura Friedmann. I’m a Colombian-born filmmaker and fiber artist. I live in Toronto, Canada with my husband, 2 amazing kids, and a wonderful community of family and friends. At the end of 2020, I started weaving intentionally while I recovered from Trigeminal Neuralgia, one of the most painful conditions known which causes sudden and severe facial and brain pain. After months of being bed-ridden and taking intense medication, my miraculous healing process began and I slowly improved.
Once I regained my strength, I flung myself into my lifetime dream of weaving, and creating macrame, and fiber-art pieces. In 2021 I launched “Threads of Moonlight”. I create pieces mostly at night, once my kids are asleep and the world slows down.
In my weaving work I explore themes related to nervous system regulation, somatic embodiment, inner child work, and self-regulation as tools to overcome anxiety, self-abandonment, enmeshment bonds and trauma.
I’m a filmmaker by day, focused on telling stories of intergenerational trauma, healing and transformation. In the late hours of the night, I bring out my loom and cords and weave stories, knot by knot.
