Randolph is inspired by the internalization of her subjects experiences by experiencing it for herself. She also is interested in the ways women are instructed to exclude and include themselves to achieve representing of their own female body. Her work also seeks to acknowledge cultural concepts that all women are subjected to while recognizing their own personal experiences. Her pieces create metaphoric realities that express the artists personal views and represent the experience of the body of the subject. Presiding depicts a woman sitting on a log in front of a fire. She shields her breasts from the viewer, and confronts them with her gaze. A skeleton is at her feet, and is grasping her ankle while emerging from the ground. The scene behind her is a deciduous forest, behind that a series of sand dunes, and then an ocean. The sun is setting behind a cloudy sky, and a avian skeleton is ascending upwards. This piece can be interpreted as commentary on the association of women and the earth, and the ever present cycle of life towards death and an afterlife, as implied with the skeleton attempting to bring her under the soil and the avian skeleton ascending towards heaven. the setting sun also adds to this interpretation, and the life of the woman is nearing its end. Another interpretation includes the more metaphorical death of the construct of youthful beauty, vitality, and fertility of women as they approach middle age.

The project explored intersections between feminism, techno-science, political consciousness and other social issues.
