Ifor Pritchard

Memories are my inspiration.
Memories of a childhood in the village of Carmel in the ‘40’s
This is a village situated within a stone’s throw of the Dyffryn Nantlle slate quarries and was, therefore, a village that was almost totally dependent on the slate.
After a lifetime of producing and teaching art, memories now transport me back to those early days.
It is an endeavour to depict an extremely claustrophobic life that was, in the main, based on the quarry and the Chapel.
I am only interested in the human aspect of the industry.
I have slate, but not the dust, in my veins

Atgofion yw fy ysbrydiolaeth.
Atgofion o blentyndod yng Ngharmel yn y 40au. Pentref a oedd o fewn tafliad carreg i Chwareli Llechi Dyffryn Nantlle a oedd,oherwydd yn dibynnu bron yn llwyr ar y lechen.
Ar ôl oes o greu a dysgu celf, trosglwyddir fi gan fy atgofion i’r dyddiau hyfryd yma.
Ceisiaf ddehongli bywyd cûl y chwarelwr a oedd bron i gyd yn seiliedig ar waith a chapel.
Fy niddordeb yw dynoliaeth y diwydiant.
Mae’r lechen, ond dim y llwch, yn fy ngweithienau
