Scarlet Lili Thomas is a Melbourne-based curator, writer and artist whose practice moves between making, writing, and curatorial thinking. Working across exhibition-making, photography, print, drawing and mixed media, her work is grounded in close attention to materials, domestic spaces, and the emotional life of images.

​

While her earlier work focused on family, memory, and the home, her practice has increasingly expanded toward writing, critical reflection, and curating as primary modes of engagement. This shift is not a departure from making, but an extension of it — informed by the tactile knowledge of working with materials, the body, and the hand. Through curatorial practice, Thomas brings together artists, images, objects, and ideas to explore how meaning and relationships are produced within exhibition spaces.

​

Through artworks, texts, and exhibitions, Thomas explores domesticity, femininity, intimacy, and the everyday as sites of meaning, connection, and autonomy. Her approach values slowness, observation, and embodied understanding, treating art as a way of thinking, feeling, and staying in relation to the world.
