My friend Roland Miller, who has died aged 83, was a pioneering performance artist whose work, often created in partnership with his second wife, Shirley Cameron, was widely seen in the UK, across Europe and in Canada.
Roland was born in Woodford, north-east London, and grew up in the grounds of Digby psychiatric hospital in Devon, where his father, Douglas, worked as an administrator. His mother, Dorothy (nee Mayor), was a secretary.
