Noel Flood was represented in the 'Australian Ceramics’ exhibition, 1974-76 tour of State and regional galleries. In 1977, now head of the Dpt of Ceramics at Melbourne State College, he held a two-man show with fellow staff member John Teschendorff that mocked the view of pottery as craft at 'Art of Man Gallery’.

While Noel enjoyed throwing & producing functional forms, he is probably best known as a sculptor, with audiences not always sure what to make of his challenging female figures. In 1981 (James Joyce’s centenary year), on sabatical leave as artist-in-residence at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, he produced a body of work entitled “The Private Parts of James Joyce’s Women”.
Pres. Victorian Ceramic Group 1973.
