Octo-Mom Immortalized As A Kinetic Sculpture

Posted by Josh loposer

 

Although Octo-Mom's relentless streak of media domination seems to be slowly coming to an end, she's still riding high in Humboldt County, California.

Nadya Suleman and her octuplets were lampooned mocked honored over the weekend as a contestant in the annual Kinetic Sculpture Race. Artist Brian Slayton put amazing time and detail into what has got to be one of the coolest kinetic sculptures in the race's history.

As you can see, Octo is featured as a sort of half woman, half monster mutant swinging babies around in her eight tentacled arms -- very much the way many of us have come to see her in our mind's eye.

The people-powered Octo-Mom sculpture may not have won the race -- in which contestants pedal along roads, beaches, mud, etc. -- but it no doubt gets the award for drawing unprecedented media attention to the super eccentric event.

Note to self- no skirts with tentacles dangling between the legs. Not so flattering
