Work Summary & Collector Notes
Molara Ova is a 2014 Jamie Reid screenprint issued in an edition of 40, printed at 500 x 700 mm (70 x 50 cm). One of his smaller editions, it reflects the more spiritual, ritual-oriented strand of Reid's later output rather than his overtly political poster work.

Why It Matters
Reid's practice extended well beyond punk graphics into mysticism, druidry, and the natural world — a lesser-known dimension that Molara Ova represents. The tight edition of 40 makes it one of his scarcer sheets and appeals to collectors seeking the full breadth of his vision, not just the Sex Pistols legacy.
Collector Perspective
With only 40 impressions, this is among the more limited works in the group and sits outside the familiar anti-royalist imagery, which can make it a discerning collector's pick. The reference material is sparse, so buyers should rely on signature, numbering, and the stated dimensions to confirm authenticity.
Historical Context
By the 2010s Reid had long since folded his interests in paganism, ecology, and the esoteric into his art. Molara Ova, produced in 2014, belongs to this later, more contemplative body of work that runs parallel to the confrontational graphics for which he first became known.
