Roland Miller. [Performance] fulfilled the idea
that I had, that this would be something for which I alone took
responsibility and nobody else had to say you can do it now, or
this is the time to start, or we will now come in and make an entrance
or something. 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. I really
thought that this was a way of bringing together the two things
that for me were very important in cultural terms and making them
work.
[…]
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.

Fe weithiodd Shirley Cameron, sydd wedi'i hyfforddi fel cerflunydd,
a Roland Miller, a oedd yn aelod craidd o'r People Show dylanwadol,
gyda'i gilydd am y tro cyntaf ym 1970 yng nghyd-destun y Barry
Summer School nodedig, un o'r enghreifftiau gorau o addysg celfyddyd
arbrofol ym Mhrydain. Trwy gydol y saithdegau fe greodd y ddau gorff
sylweddol o waith gyda'i gilydd o'u canolfan yn Abertawe, gan greu
digwyddiadau syml defodol, yn gweithio gyda lliw a phersbectif mewn
dull gweledol trawiadol.
Er eu bod wedi parhau i greu gwaith unigol a chydweithio gyda nifer
o artistiaid perfformio eraill, mae Cameron a Miller yn fwyaf adnabyddus
am eu gwaith ar y cyd fel cwpl, yn aml yn archwilio eu rolau eu
hunain o fewn eu partneriaeth, ac yn ddiweddarach yn aml yn cynnwys
eu dwy ferch yn y gwaith.
