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.
