BURLINGTON — Of all the people gathered on Burlington’s waterfront to watch the eclipse, perhaps none was as dressed as well as Bella Moore.
The 20-year-old junior at the University of Vermont was wearing a handmade, cardboard-and-foam gyroscope she had fashioned for a sculpture class.
“It’s the personification of the eclipse, if you will,” she said just before noon Monday.
That was Moore’s take on the assignment: “It needed to be a wearable sculpture that was camp and Bauhaus,” she said. “The circles are very Bauhaus. And then of course it’s a little camp too.”
Why wear such an intricate piece at the crowded waterfront? Moore, a psychology major and art minor, is graduating early this spring. “So I’m trying to make the most of the time that I have here,” she said.
And besides, she said, “When else am I going to have the opportunity to wear it?”
