Candice has also travelled to Ecuador to investigate the Coriolis force that surrounds the equator.
Travelling to extreme parts of the Earth is an increasingly important part of her work.
Candice explains: "My work is an ongoing body of research and experimentation investigating the qualities of natural phenomena.
"Recently I have been exploring the effect of resonance and vibration upon the elements; earth, fire, air and water. Through my investigation technology is used to reveal the hidden qualities of nature’s elements."
