For Outhouse 2014, artist Michael Combs recreates a full size wood outhouse in the architectural style of a “bayhouse,” the traditional fishermans’ shacks that have dotted the marshlands of Long Island for the last three centuries. Combs, who is descended from a 17th century line of fishermen, duck hunters, and maritime tradition bearers, is particularly interested in the history of these isolated structures built from discarded materials as base camps for hunting and fishing.
“As a young boy, I would spend my summers down at our bay house on the Great South Bay. These houses were a place where men, and only men, stayed when they were hunting or waiting for the day’s catch. Outhouse 2014 replicates the actual primitive latrine that was located at the end of an old dock behind our family’s bayhouse. Initially, I feared visiting it late at night, but later in life I found it to be a place of solitude where I could hide and contemplate the feelings I had about hunting and killing and the stress that we placed on our natural environment. This way of thinking wasn't praised around the bay house; too much was in question: our livelihood, tradition, heritage, masculinity. It was safer to keep those thoughts to myself, hidden, in private.” — Michael Combs
Outhouse 2014 is the working model for a phase two, Self-Portrait 2015, an outhouse fabricated in aluminum and mirrors, for production in 2015-2016.

French, or possibly Italian, in the Brescian manner, 1575-1600.
"In the Brescian Manner" refers to the quantity, quality, and style of etching, common on armour made in Brescia, Italy. Helmets with particularly tall combs were fashionable in France.

This entire group of people were very gracious in allowing me to take close-up photos while they prepared for the day's activities.
This kind lady was combing a ball of wool, preparing it before spinning into thread.
Combs church wasn't open on the Wednesday that I visited. There was a phone number listed, but I was a bit pushed for time and was keen to get to Badley, which I hadn't visited before. So I had to make do. Combs sits on its own in fields south of Stowmarket. The church is quite large, and the setting is enjoyable, on a slight rise backed by trees. The tower is Decorated, as is the chancel. The rest of the church is Perpendicular.
Description: Comb graves of James and Emley Carr in Carr Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.
Date: November 25, 2012

Collection name: Richard C. Finch Folk Graves Digital Photograph Collection
Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

This frame was left on over winter. The bees used most of the darker fall honey and refilled the empty comb with the lighter spring honey.

There was a board over this old window. It fell out in a wind storm and revealed this huge honey comb behind.
82 nit combs were found on the Mary Rose, the most commonly found personal objects recovered! With the exception of one ivory one,they were all made of wood, mainly boxwood, with a single alder example.
