Noel Flood was one of the artists represented in the Australian Ceramics exhibition that toured State and regional galleries in 1974-76. 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”.
