Art or Craft....or both?

Do you sew for art, or for craft? Perhaps for both?
This question has been on my mind lately. I have seen evidence of both in my own sewing. Sewing for "art" indicates a desire to reflect my personality in the finished product. A manifestation in fabric of my thoughts, feelings, state of mind. Art sewing, for me, will often be done with reckless abandon, foregoing all the standard rules and methods that are taught for construction. I'll throw together fabrics, slash pattern pieces, move things around, and embellish until my mood wanes.
Sewing for "craft" is when my perfectionist-side kicks in. I'm not talking about "crafty"; rather, this is when the craft of sewing as a fine skill takes over. I'll fuss over every thread, tying them off and knotting them and pulling them between the layers of fabric. Stitches will be counted, yes, counted, in specific areas so that symmetry will be precise. I've even been known to count the threads from the selvedge so that the grainline will be perfect....but only when I'm in the "craft" mood.
Most of the time, however, sewing is a combination of both. I want to reflect my personality, yes, but I want the construction to be as fine in quality as possible....within limits. If this is for every day wear, to be donned for visits to the grocery store or to take the dog for a walk, I'm not going to count threads. Precise sewing methods are generally saved for special garments. But I do want things to look good, and to last.
How do we balance art and craft in our sewing? We have to decide where we will fight our fabric battles. Is this garment worth hand stitching three rows of hemming stitches? Will I wear this more than once? Am I looking for a classic piece that will live in my closet for years? If I use fusible interfacing instead of sewn-in interfacing, will it shorten the life of my garment? Will it matter?
For me, a garment that will be worn almost daily...for instance, a pair of black pants....will be sewn with great care. Yes, three rows of hemming stitches (I'm rough on hems). The grainline must be just so....the fabric treated with care. I want to wear these and never have to worry about resewing the button, or fuss with scratchy inner seam allowance edges.
But for something that will be worn once...or twice.....such attention to detail seems superfluous. I'd rather make those one-wear pieces more artsy, with the excuse that my artistic soul needs to be fed. Yes, I'll do good work...but it won't be at a perfectionist level.
