The Weed Spreader is a strange person shrouded in many mysteries and ambiguities. Its origin or the activity he performs is not clear, nor is the place where he is living. He can live in a semi-dilapidated shack-building somewhere at the end of the countryside. If that were the case, he would be a terror to his surroundings, the locals would avoid him and his building. His livelihood would be a mystery to them and there would be rumours about him. But it is not even entirely certain what kind of "dough" he is actually made of. At first glance, he looks like a man, but that may not be the case. So if he were not a human, then he would be a mythical being and could occur in different places under specific outdoor conditions and at specific times.
What he does is more than strange. He plants human organs and body parts that grow into weeds. The Weed Spreader is neither good nor bad. To some he may be a kind of "Jánošík" (Slovak highwayman) to others a pure killer. But he does not take from the rich and give to the poor, the key by which he chooses is not clear, in fact it is not at all certain whether he chooses someone or only finds already dead bodies. And then he "processes" them in the same way that we process a pig at a slaughterhouse.
Who does he actually help, if he helps? Whose side is he on? His "sports team" is the weeds, or rather the plants referred to as weeds, and he "kicks" for his team. There is no clear definition of a weed, nor is there an immutable list of plants that are weeds. It is up to us what we define as a weed. What we consider a weed depends on how we manage the land.
As reprehensible as his actions may seem, the Weed Spreader also facilitates transformation. In addition to him, the figure of a woman also appears in the paintings. She may represent a person of long-standing loss whom Weed Spreader has "liberated." Perhaps she herself was a kind of "social weed". Under unclear circumstances and reasons, she was displaced, although she herself was quite possibly just misunderstood. But it could equally well be a companion he killed, or a person he had long observed and secretly admired. It is her body parts that are planted and given new life in the form of weeds.
