In 2012, Randy Kennedy wrote in the New York Times that Flood was "a founder of the underground 1980s band Culturcide" who "never sold enough work to say goodbye to his day jobs (Texaco office worker, elementary school teacher's assistant, video clerk, museum assistant").
Work Flood has worked in several media and formats such as painting, installation, artist's books and photo-collage. His paintings created with lace have been called "spinster abstraction". The process involves collecting lace and shredding it, soaking the lace in paint, and then draping it over a painted canvas. A pattern is left on the canvas after removing the lace. Another series of paintings include stenciled and spray-painted texts that read, "Another Painting", "3 More Paintings" and 25 More Paintings."
In 2021 Flood collaborated with the jewelry company, love for both of us, on a series of pendants in bronze and gold that referenced Greek sculptures.
Selected exhibitions Flood has had solo exhibitions at KARMA, New York; among other venues.
