Shirley Cameron a Roland Miller yn sgwrsio efo Heike Roms, 23 Tachwedd 2006 (rhan yn unig)

I was doing that on my own. And that was really how I foresaw working in performance art. I called it performance art because performance art to me contained two elements which were very important – and I still believe this is true – one is the performance and the other element is the art.

Shirley Cameron. I believe that my sculpture was very much concerned with insides and outsides, negative and positive, quite usual sculptural considerations – a kind of duality of that sort that fitted in my mind at the time with the idea of having an actual other person there. And obviously also connected with the duality of male and female. This was an extension of my formal interest. As I’m sure everyone can appreciate from what Roland said, he’s talking about his anarchic approach, and I’m talking about a quite formal approach to sculpture and to performance, which indeed I do have. I suppose it was very much a combination of these two disparate elements that came together in our work. The duality of creation and destruction as well could be a part of it. And I believe we did, and perhaps still do, create dynamic work out of those different elements.
